We are mostly first time bird feeding people (GTorontoArea). We are enjoying using the Brome Squirrel Buster Suet Feeder. For us to be able to see the birds I have mounted it off our Family Room window. We do get the occasional Woodpecker but it appears they are often "scared off" by so many Chickadees and Nuthatches.
The feeder allows for two suet cakes and currently it is stocked with MILL CREEK Fruit and Nut and MILL CREEK Peanut Premium.
(Initially, on one side I had loaded the MILL CREEK Pure Premium Suet but for the time it was up it got little action).
I guess I am wondering if different suet will attract different varieties of birds. Or more pointedly is there a MILL CREEK suet that you could recommend that might not be so appealing to Chickadees and Nuthatches but bring in some more interesting, colourful birds?
