FAQs
Can these pellets be fed all year round?
Yes, they are formulated as a complementary feed suitable for providing energy and protein to wild birds throughout the entire year.
What birds will this attract?
These pellets attract a wide range of garden birds, particularly insectivorous species like Robins, Tits, and Wrens.
Should I soak the pellets before feeding?
No, they should be fed dry. Soaking them can cause them to spoil quickly and become difficult for birds to handle.
How do I store the pellets?
Keep the bag in a cool, dark, and dry location away from pests to maintain the integrity of the suet and mealworms.
Can I mix these with regular bird seed?
Absolutely. Mixing them with sunflower hearts or other high-quality seeds creates a well-rounded nutritional meal for your garden visitors.
Troubleshooting
Pellets are falling through the feeder mesh.
Ensure you are using a dedicated suet pellet feeder with appropriate hole sizing or transition to a tray-based feeder.
Squirrels are raiding the feeder.
Use a squirrel-proof baffle on the feeding pole or switch to a caged feeder designed to exclude larger animals.
Birds are not visiting the feeder.
Place the feeder in a quiet area with nearby cover (trees or shrubs) to help birds feel secure while eating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, store the suet pellets in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. When using a bird table, ensure the surface is cleaned periodically to prevent the buildup of bacteria. If using a hanging feeder, choose a mesh-style or specialized suet pellet feeder to prevent the pellets from falling through. Always provide fresh water nearby, as high-protein and high-fat diets can increase a bird's thirst. If you find the pellets are being scattered too frequently on the ground, consider a ground feeding tray to keep the area tidy and reduce waste.
