While birds will still eat them, it's best to remove any uneaten food after a day, especially in damp conditions, to prevent spoilage and mold growth. Ensure your feeder offers some protection from heavy rain.
Ensure feeders are clean and in a safe location. Try introducing the food gradually or mixing it with a small amount of existing feed. Check if other food sources are more readily available in the area.
This can happen if left out in wet conditions or if not stored correctly. Remove any moldy food immediately. Ensure feeders are not overfilled and are cleaned regularly. Store the remaining food in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed.
Try using an ant-moat on the feeder pole or placing the feeder away from ant trails. Remove uneaten food promptly, especially in warmer weather.
Setup: No setup is required. Simply open the resealable tub and place the suet pellets in a suitable bird feeder, on a bird table, or on the ground. Ensure the chosen location is safe from predators and offers some shelter.
Compatibility: These suet pellets are compatible with most types of suet feeders and are suitable for feeding to a wide variety of garden birds, including but not limited to robins, blackbirds, starlings, sparrows, and tits. They are especially recommended for soft-billed species.
Care: Store the tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always ensure the lid is securely sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. Clean feeders regularly to prevent the buildup of mold and bacteria, which can be harmful to birds. It is advisable to remove any uneaten food at the end of the day, particularly in warmer weather, to prevent spoilage.
