Suet is a terrific energy source for birds.  Whether preparing for migration, returning from their winter migration, spending the winter in northern areas, or nesting in preparation for their babies, suet cakes provide what needed.  Hang suet birdfeeders in your yard to attract woodpeckers, flickers, finches, and other songbirds. 

Suet is a nutritious food for brown creepers, downy woodpeckers, hairy woodpeckers, red-bellied woodpeckers, red- and white-breasted nuthatches, and black-capped chickadees.
