Troubleshooting
Birds are not attracted to the suet cake.
Ensure the suet cake is placed in a location birds frequent and feel safe. Try moving it closer to natural cover like bushes or trees. Check if the suet cake is fresh; old or spoiled suet can deter birds.
Squirrels or larger birds are consuming the suet cake rapidly.
Use a suet cage feeder designed to deter larger animals, or place the feeder on a pole with a baffle. Consider feeding at specific times when smaller birds are more active.
Suet cake appears to be melting or degrading quickly.
This can happen in very warm weather. If possible, place the suet cake in a shaded location. Remove any melting portions to prevent mess and spoilage.
