FAQs

What is the main benefit of using suet pellets?

Suet pellets provide a high-energy, calorie-rich food source that is particularly beneficial for birds during colder months or when natural food is scarce. Their easy-to-digest nature also makes them suitable for a wide range of birds.

Can I put these pellets on a bird table without a feeder?

Yes, these pellets can be scattered on a bird table or on the ground. However, using a suet pellet feeder is recommended to control the distribution of food and reduce waste.

What types of birds are attracted to these pellets?

These pellets are attractive to a wide variety of birds, including small birds like Blue Tits and Coal Tits, as well as larger birds such as Doves, Woodpeckers, and Robins.

How long is the guarantee for this product?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

What are the main ingredients in Happy Beaks Berry Suet Pellets?

The main ingredients are Wheat Flour, Beef Fat, and Peanut Flour, with added Red Colourant and Cranberry Flavour.

Are these pellets suitable for all-year-round feeding?

Yes, suet pellets can be fed year-round, but they are especially beneficial during autumn and winter when natural food sources are limited.

How should I store the suet pellets?

Store the suet pellets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality and prevent them from becoming rancid or moldy.

Troubleshooting

Birds are not eating the pellets.

Ensure the feeder is appropriate for suet pellets and is placed in a safe, visible location. Check if other food sources are more appealing. The pellets are best served in a dedicated suet pellet feeder.

Pellets become wet or moldy.

This can happen after heavy rain. Remove wet pellets and clean the feeder thoroughly. Ensure the feeder has adequate drainage. Consider moving the feeder to a more sheltered location if possible.

Attracting unwanted pests (e.g., squirrels).

Use a squirrel-proof feeder designed for suet pellets. Avoid placing feeders too close to accessible jumping-off points. Clean up any spilled food on the ground promptly.

Pellets seem to be breaking down too quickly in the feeder.

Check the feeder design; some feeders may cause excessive fragmentation. Ensure the feeder is not exposed to excessive heat, which can soften the pellets.
