If you are like me and love to feed the birds, and have no money for suet cakes, I take 2 pieces of wheat bread, spread with peanut butter on both sides and a little in the middle to hold the bread together, and put it in the suet holder. The birds love it, and it is fairly cheap! They see " us " coming with the bread and wait for us to put it in the suet holder. Gone in just a few minutes! They especailly love it ,now that they are raising babies. - ROSA
