Fantastic

These are fantastic. I feed a lot of wildlife off my deck, and the squirrels will finish their food and move onto my birdfeeder and suets. I have no problem feeding

These are fantastic. I feed a lot of wildlife off my deck, and the squirrels will finish their food and move onto my birdfeeder and suets. I have no problem feeding the squirrels & raccoons, but i'd like to have food available for the birds, too! So i've moved to putting hot pepper suet in the cages, and have upgraded to a squirrelproof metal hanging feeder. This way, there's at least some food that the 4 legged animals don't inhale.

Breaks apart and attracts squirrels, but the birds like it too.

If you are trying this one because you think squirrels won't eat the spicy, you will be sad. The squirrels will eat it any. That said, the birds like it well enough,

Wild bird suet

The birds seem to have no interest in eating this. I don’t know why.

terrible product: birds do not like it, they do not eat it

In my experience birds will normally devour suet. However they have no interest in this suet.

Why hot pepper suet?

Use it because mammals won't touch it and birds love it
