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.

There are actually three flavors of this log. Sweet corn, nut, and corn and nut. My squirrels love the corn, but hate the other two. Chewy doesn't sell the other two anyway, but I have seen them in pet stores. Anyway, the blue jays started pecking on the top of my last log. It split in half and fell off the squirrel chair we bought to hold it. There is no way to use it now, in the manner it was intended. This must be the 10th log I've put out for them, and this is the first time that this has happened. All I can do is leave the two halves on the deck. I suppose they'll get eaten eventually, but if this keeps happening, I will have to find a different way to use these logs, or a different way There are actually three flavors of this log.

I got a couple of these from a local store when I ran out of cob corn, and was not terribly impressed. The squirrels much prefer real corn, suet, or birdseed, but will eat this if nothing else is available. Blue jays will also sit on top of the log and peck pieces off. The good: they are convenient, last a long time, aren't messy, and the two I've used have held up great. I was worried from other reviews that they would melt in the rain/snow, but they've stayed solid through multiple storms for several weeks. The bad: they are terribly expensive and won't keep squirrels from trying to raid your feeders.

I'll still give them 4 stars since the critters eat them and they're a better option than cobs for some people. … more

Ad states the log is equal to 15 ears of corn. May be true but they eat this faster than 15 ears. I will buy it again.

It sat for so long and became an disgusting moldy mess. Nothing in my yard was interested - except a occasional passing bird perching on it.

The squirrels seem to like these but not enough to keep them off of the bird feeder. They last much longer then the cob corn.

Thought I would try this to save on the regular corn I use. The squirrels haven't touch this nor have any birds that used to eat the other corn.

My squirrels took a week or two to warm up to them, but now they devour them and leave the birds' food alone! I recommend this product and some patience.

I was hoping to have a feeder that my squirrels would use so they would leave the bird feeders alone. Unfortunately my squirrels did not even touch the squirrel log. I did fill their feeder with sunflower seeds and cracked corn so they do stay away from the birds but disappointed they didn’t like this treat as it would have lasted a few days before I had to refill the feeder

Harder than a brick. Bounces off the concrete floor. Squirrels wouldn't touch them. The only critters that would, are the mice.

I sit out on my back porch, not 5 ft away from Mr/s Squirrel munching away on the corn log. They love the corn and I suspect gnawing at the log is good for their teeth. I think these logs work best if on a spike in a tree. I have to enlarge the hole in the log a little with my awl in order to assure a tight fit, or the little devils will run away with the whole thing. Bottom line: they love em!
