Suet is animal fat. It is the most concentrated source of energy you can offer wild birds. C&S Suet is made with only the highest quality processed beef kidney fat while special processes remove impurities that can cause low melting points and spoilage problems. C&S Treats are a poured product and will become soft and pliable at around 100 degrees (F). C&S Delights are refined even further and pressed to produce a “No Melt” suet that can be fed during the hottest temperatures. C&S Suet is reasonably priced and eliminates the mess of home production. Find more information on our quality line of suet products.
Suet is 1 of the top 3 foods to feed wild birds. Birds have high metabolic rates, so it is not unusual for birds to consume 1/4 - 1/3 their body weight worth of food a day! Offering suet, mixed with the highest quality grains, nuts, fruits, and flavored pellets provides a high caloric energy source. C&S Suet is 1 of the first foods birds will offer their young. Check our wild bird feeding page for more information on how easy it is to get started.
Birds seek out food most actively early in the morning and again just before nightfall. This gives them the energy burst they need to make it through spring nesting, breeding and chilly winter nights. The wide variety and product quality make C&S Bird Suet an extremely desirable food source for our many feathered friends in all seasons.
Wild Bird Suet is traditionally fed in vinyl - coated wire cages. They are inexpensive and durable. Wire dimensions vary depending on how starling or squirrel resistant you want your feeder to be. The cages, or baskets, hold from 1 - several C&S Suet Cakes or Bricks. The cages may be hung from branches, tree trunks, or hooks. There are also several designs available combining wire with wood or plastic. View our complete line of Suet Feeders and Baskets.
ALL YEAR ROUND!!! In the past, people fed suet only in the fall and winter, due to poor quality and misconceptions of feeding wild birds. Winter is a good time for the beginner to start feeding because most trees are bare of foliage making the birds very visible. You are also more apt to see birds in flocks in the winter time. The growth and popularity of summer bird feeding was to be expected. You will have constant activity on your feeders as they flit back and forth for quick snacks during their busy day. C&S’s “No Melt” Suets make it easy to attract insect eating birds to your yard in warm weather. Year round feeding allows you to observe and enjoy wild birds when they are the most active and colorful.
If you have never fed C&S Suet, you have missed some great neighbors. Common birds that eat suet are downy, hairy, red - bellied, and pileated woodpeckers. Chickadees, northern flickers, nuthatches, and starlings are also avid suet eaters. By adding C&S Suet to your wild bird’s menu, you will also attract wrens, warblers, thrushes, brown creepers, brown thrashers, and blue jays. You can also attract orioles, pine siskins, titmice, and the ever popular bluebird. No feeding station would be complete without C&S suet baskets!
C&S Suet flavors are available in treats and “No Melt” delights. Start with a suet that is most appealing to you. Ingredients vary from peanuts to papaya, hot pepper to almond, berry to cherry, and raisin to insect. Special blends are available including Oriole, Bluebird and Woodpecker.
This is a new fat based product that uses a unique formulation and production process to produce. Nuggets™ have proven to be attractive to a larger variety of wild birds than even the finest selection of quality seeds.
The Bird Nuggets line may be fed with Nugget/Peanut/Sunflower feeders using 1/3? diameter wire or platform feeders. These feeders will only attract the clinging type of bird like Nuthatches and Chickadees.
C&S Snack Cakes are produced with natural adhesive binders holding different mixes together in a cake form. These cakes vary in size from 6 ozs to 6.5 lbs.
Snack Cakes create less mess and waste than many conventional seed mixes. Snack™ Cakes may allow you to feed in places that you wouldn’t normally place seed feeders. You’ll also find that Snack™ Cake feeders attract a different type of bird than conventional bird feeders.
Squirrels are the bane of most birders. However, at C&S, we prefer to “FEED ‘EM, DON’T FIGHT ‘EM.” This is why we have developed a full line “Squirrelog” products and feeders. Not only do squirrels provide hours of entertainment, it is also to necessary to divert them away from bird suets and feeders because they can cause damage and steal needed food from wild birds. This is why we developed our line of Sweet Corn Squirrelogs—to have the best of both worlds.
We bought these based on the “peanut” & “no melt” characteristics. They are no melt which is a positive. However the cakes are made mostly with corn, and the birds are not having it. So, if your purpose is attracting birds these aren’t very effective vs other makes that incorporate a higher percentage of peanuts and/or bird seed. If you’re looking for inexpensive, no melt and you’re in an area where the alternative food sources are low then maybe these will work for you. They haven’t worked well for us, where birds are choosing any other available alternative.
I live in AZ, so I initially purchased this because it doesn’t melt. The area I live in gets below freezing in winter so I bought regular suet cakes and thought I would just use this for summer. Well, the birds have spoken and this is their favorite no matter what time of year. They love this and I have twice as many birds at the feeder when I put this out regardless of the time of year. I won’t go back to “regular” suet cakes
I started buying two of 8 packs at a time because I go through them so quickly. I buy them primarily for woodpeckers but other birds love it too. I even have bluebirds who munch on these cakes before they eat the mealworms I put out for them. Tufted Titmice, Chickadees, Wrens, Blue Jays, and many more all love these cakes and C&S's peanut nuggets which I also purchase. There seems to be less waste with these cakes though. I highly recommend using these cakes year-round, but if you can't buy them year-round, definitely get them for the winter season. They do not melt like traditional fat or suet-based cakes. I give this product and The C&S Co. an A+!
I got these, but didn't get the cage to put it. Left it on a tray and no one seemed to bite. They looked at it but nothing. Might be to early. I know birds go through 10 sites a day to look for food soo maybe nothing yet. I'll be patient. But the suet holding up good in South florida weather in May. #chewyteamrated
i have no clue about birds but the birds love this suet because it's all gone in less than 24 hours in a upside down suet feeder, i will not change whats is good also have 2 regular feeders that everyone eat from and empties out in 8 hours
Attracts all sorts of birds to the bird feeder. It’s helped keep the woodpeckers and black birds away from my house. It’s of course a favorite for the squirrels too. Chewy’s cost and autoship is the best deal to local stores.
Does not induce animals (squirrels, bluebirds, crows, sparrow sized birds), to eat these cakes, until cakes are the last feed available. Pretty much every day. Seems not enough peanut in the cakes.
Woodpeckers;squirrels; and other bird species love this. I have to replace a cake every other day! I know it's supposed to be for wild birds only but tell the squirrels that! oss
I put this out last week and checked it yesterday and it is half eaten. I only have a few woodpeckers and they evidently love it!
Woodpeckers are really flocking to the feeder to work on these suet cakes. I've also noticed several other species seem to like it too. Might have to make another Autoship for this one.
