Birds Aren't Interested in Suet

RE: Birds Aren't Interested in Suet Post By Bernadette (Guest Post) (08/27/2007) Just leave the suet bag hanging there. I had one up all winter long, and not one bird used it. As the spring came on, so did the birds. In no time the suet feeder was empty. I had a wonderful variety of birds at my suet bag. Even had woodpeckers enjoying it. When the weather cools a bit, I have another one to hang.

Could it be the onion smell they don't like? RE: Birds Aren't Interested in Suet Post By SunnyBC88 (Guest Post) (12/03/2004) I tried that once & found it to be the bag they don't like. I think their feet get tangled in the mesh & it scares them coming again. Suet holders of metal are great & cheap enough, or create one using old coat hangers, or large holed screen.

My boyfriend mounted it on a piece of wood (2 pieces nailed together to look like an L) that's nailed to the tree. I go through tons in the winter. Even the chipmunks & little squirrels eat it.
