FAQs

What types of birds will eat these suet pellets?

These insect suet pellets are designed to attract a wide variety of garden birds, including Robins, Blackbirds, Starlings, Sparrows, Tits, and Woodpeckers. The soft texture is particularly good for soft-billed species.

Can I feed these pellets all year round?

Yes, these high-energy suet pellets are beneficial for birds throughout the year. They provide vital energy during colder months and support birds during breeding and moulting seasons.

How should I store the suet pellets?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original packaging or an airtight container will help maintain freshness.

Are these pellets suitable for pigeons or squirrels?

While pigeons and squirrels may be attracted to suet pellets, it's generally recommended to use feeders designed to deter larger animals if you wish to prioritize smaller garden birds.

What is the main benefit of the insect ingredients?

Insects are a natural and high-protein food source for many birds, providing essential nutrients for energy, feather health, and overall well-being. The inclusion of insects makes these pellets particularly appealing and nutritious.

Can I mix these pellets with other bird foods?

Yes, you can mix these suet pellets with other bird seeds or mixes on a bird table to offer variety, as long as the combined food is suitable for wild birds and kept fresh.

Troubleshooting

Pellets appear dry or hard

This is unlikely given the product's formulation, but if it occurs, ensure the product has not been stored for an extended period in extreme heat or dryness. Check the 'use by' date.

Birds are not eating the pellets

Ensure pellets are fresh and stored correctly. Try offering them in a different feeder type or location. Birds may also be temporarily deterred by new food items; persistence is key.

Mold growth on uneaten food

Remove all moldy food immediately. Reduce the amount offered at any one time, especially during wet weather. Ensure feeders are cleaned regularly and protected from rain.

  • Can be fed year-round, providing consistent sustenance.
  • Convenient and easy for birds to consume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These suet pellets are ready to use straight from the packaging. They can be offered in several ways: scattered directly on a bird table, placed in a dedicated suet pellet feeder, or mixed with other bird feed. Ensure any feeders used are clean before refilling.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard suet pellet feeders, bird tables, and ground feeding trays. They are suitable for feeding to a wide range of garden birds.

Care: Store the suet pellets in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Avoid leaving large amounts of moist food out in prolonged wet weather, as this can encourage mould growth. Remove any uneaten food that has become wet or spoiled to prevent the spread of disease among birds.
