Suet is a great food for birds, especially during the winter time and when the birds are either migrating or nesting.  In fact, anytime birds need a high protein boost for energy, a suet bird feeder is a great help.

Suet can be purchased in many different shapes and sizes to fit many different size feeders.  But, it can also be made at home.

Suet comes from the fatty part around a the kidney area of a cow.  You can either use this, melted down or use store-purchased lard or shortening.  Melt it down and pour it into a mold.  The mold shape will depend on what type of feeder you have to hold it.

After pouring into the mold, you should add other ingredients such as bird seed, nuts raisins or cornmeal to give the birds some variety and a more balanced feed.  Let this cool and you have ready made food – and you can freeze any unused suet for later use.

As for the suet bird feeder, you can use many different objects.  You can put the suet mix into an old onion bag and hang it.  You can put it on pine cones, ice cream cones or just spread on tree branches around the garden.

If you opt for a store bought suet bird feeder there are also many choices that range from a few bucks to high priced, custom made bird houses with wire mesh holders ready to hold the suet.

Whichever option you take you will attract a lot of different species of birds such as woodpeckers (if you feeder has a tail support) chickadees, nuthatches, jays and finches.
