FAQs

Can Suet to Go Insect Pellets be fed to birds in summer?

Yes, these pellets are designed for year-round feeding. However, in very hot weather, they may soften. It's best to offer them in the cooler parts of the day or ensure they are not left to melt excessively.

What types of birds will these pellets attract?

They are formulated to attract a wide variety of wild birds, including tits, finches, woodpeckers, robins, and other insectivorous or omnivorous species.

How should I store the Suet to Go Insect Pellets?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The original packaging is suitable for storage.

Are these pellets a complete food source for birds?

No, these are a supplementary food source, providing high energy and protein. Birds should also have access to natural food sources and fresh water.

Can I put these pellets out on a bird table or on the ground?

Yes, they can be fed from bird tables, scattered on a clean, flat surface on the ground, or used in a suitable pellet feeder.

How much should I feed my garden birds?

Offer as much as the birds can consume within a day or two to ensure freshness, especially in warmer weather. Avoid overfilling feeders to prevent waste and spoilage.

Troubleshooting

Birds are not eating the pellets

Ensure the feeding location is safe and accessible. Try a different type of feeder or feeding location. Check if the pellets are fresh and have been stored correctly. Some birds may need time to discover a new food source.

Pellets seem to be melting or are sticky

This can happen in very warm weather. Remove the sticky pellets and offer them again when temperatures are lower. Ensure they are stored in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Too many larger birds or squirrels are consuming the food

Consider using a feeder with smaller openings or baffles to deter larger animals. Placing feeders further away from easy access points for squirrels might help.

Pellets are becoming moldy

This usually indicates the food is getting wet. Ensure feeders are sheltered from rain or consider offering smaller amounts more frequently, especially in damp conditions. Clean feeding stations thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Feeding Setup:

  1. Feeder: Use a specialized suet pellet feeder, a bird table, or a clean, flat surface on the ground. Ensure feeders are kept clean to prevent the spread of disease.
  2. Placement: Position feeders in a location that offers birds some cover from predators, such as near shrubs or trees, but also allows you to observe them.

Compatibility:

These pellets are compatible with most standard suet pellet feeders and can be offered alongside other bird-friendly foods. They are suitable for a wide range of common garden birds. Avoid mixing with foods that could cause spoilage or attract unwanted pests.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the pellets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain freshness. The original packaging is suitable for storage.
  • Hygiene: Regularly clean feeding stations and surrounding areas to prevent mold and bacteria buildup. Remove any old or wet food.
  • Weather: In very hot weather, suet can soften or melt. If this occurs, it's best to remove the softened suet and offer it again when temperatures are cooler, or supplement with less temperature-sensitive foods.
