FAQs

What types of birds are these suet pellets best for?

These pellets are particularly good for soft-billed birds like Robins, Starlings, and Blackbirds, but are suitable for a wide range of wild birds due to their easy-to-eat texture.

Can I feed these pellets all year round?

Yes, the high energy content makes them suitable for feeding at any time of the year, providing essential nutrition during breeding, moulting, and colder months.

How should I store the suet pellets?

Store the suet pellets in their resealable tub in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain freshness.

Are these pellets suitable for rainy weather?

While the moist texture is easy to eat, very heavy or prolonged rain might make the pellets less durable. Ensure feeders have good drainage and remove any spoiled food promptly.

Can I put these pellets out on the ground?

Troubleshooting

Birds are not eating the pellets

Ensure the pellets are fresh and have been stored correctly. Try a different feeding location or feeder type. Consider if other food sources are currently more abundant in the area.

Pellets appear too wet or sticky

This is normal for this product's formulation. If they are excessively sticky due to heat, move them to a cooler storage location. Ensure feeders are draining properly in wet weather.

Attracting unwanted visitors (e.g., squirrels)

Use feeders designed to deter larger animals, such as cage feeders or feeders with weight-activated closures. Avoid placing feeders too close to climbing structures.
