What is suet?
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.
Why do birds eat suet?
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.
When do birds eat?
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.
How do I feed suet?
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.
When do I feed suet?
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.
What birds eat suet?
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!
What flavors do I feed?
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.
What are Nuggets?
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.
How do I feed Nuggets?
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.
What is a Snack™ Cake?
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.
Why would I use a Snack Cake?
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.
What about squirrels?
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.

birdfeeding 101
By steph on Feb 11, 2021
i have been buying these nuggets for a couple years due to so many different birds loving it. i swear when they hear the rattle of the bag, they come flying! i always think whoever thought of these should get a raise.

All of the critters I feed love these!
By Lisa on Jan 12, 2021
These are a hit at the feeders! The birds and squirrels love them. Unfortunately, they always get packed in a box with a 35lb tub of litter. By the time I get them, a huge amount is crumbled up into powder. I wish Chewy would package them somehow to prevent this from happening.

Takes birds some getting used to them
By DSinMd on Oct 7, 2020
I bought 3 pkgs. to replace shelled peanuts in my peanut tube feeder. The product seemed like it could be a good substitute - good quality ingredients and less expensive. However, the woodpeckers and nuthatches I hoped to attract with it (and who used to frequently come for the peanuts in this feeder) acted like they didn't recognize these nuggets as food. They'd land on the feeder, then fly off again without even trying to eat anything. I started putting some nuggets on my platform feeder, mixed with sunflower seed, in the hope that Blue Jays or Starlings might try them. That worked better.

But I still don't see many woodpeckers or nuthatches eating at that feeder - just mostly Starlings and House Sparrows. I don't think I'll be reordering them. … more

Birds love it
By LENOREm on Jan 5, 2021
As soon as I put these “nuggets” in a feeder the birds immediately found them and keep coming back for more. I like that there are no shells and hardly any mess.

No Shells and No Mess
By BirdFeeder on Dec 27, 2020
If you want to feed the birds and squirrels peanuts but don't like the shells these are great. Once you put them out, they don't last long.

my critters did not like these
By meg11 on Oct 15, 2020
The squirrels or birds did not eat, after being left in their feeder for days. Nor even the occasional visiting raccoon and bear that often eat the peanuts that have fallen to the ground, did not eat the pellets. I watched on night video cam as a racoon and bear just sniffed at the pellets that had fallen to the ground and the both walked away.

By Lindainva on Dec 21, 2020
The bluebirds flock to this stuff as do my woodpeckers but the squirrels seem to hate it, which is a plus

Birds love them

I purchase two bags at a time, birds eat this far more than they eat birdseed, corn or suet

Great product
By Neda on Aug 28, 2020
The birds love this. I am trying to figure how many bags to get to last a month because they eat them super quick. Currently I’m on three bags but I’m pretty sure it will need to be more Maybe next time I should check to see if it comes in a bigger bag. If not that would be a great recommendation With the different foods and feeders I have I’m getting a lot more birds conning
