At the very time food becomes hard to get, cold weather increases the calorie requirements of birds. You can provide wild birds the nutrition they need at this time by offering seed mixes with a high fat and energy content, and offering suet, cakes of high-energy fat blended with seeds and nuts.

The Pine Tree Farms Birdie Wreath Wild Bird Food provides a great source of high energy to your backyard birds, which have a very high metabolism need in the winter. Seed cakes are a great alternative to loose seed feeding and may be used to attract a wide variety of birds or a select few.

Suet is beef fat, a high-energy food critical for birds’ survival in the colder months. Suet is an especially strong magnet for birds (including this Red-breasted Nuthatch) that eat lots of bugs in the warmer months.

This seed cake doubles as its own wreath-shaped feeder and it is small enough that several may be hung to establish multiple feeding zones. The convenience and size of the Birdie Wreath make it an ideal way to offer your birds a high-energy supplement.

The Birdie Wreath Wild Bird Food is developed for year-round feeding and consists of the finest seeds and nuts. This seed cake may be hung.

Birds that enjoy this seed cake:
blackbirds, cardinals, chickadees, crows, doves, finches, flickers, goldfinches, grackles, grosbeaks, jays, juncos, mockingbirds, nuthatches, redpolls, siskins, sparrows, starlings, titmice, towhees, woodpeckers, and wrens

Ingredients: black oil sunflower seed, peanuts, safflower, red millet, gelatin

A suet feeder is any wire-mesh cage or bag, such as an onion bag, which holds suet or suet mixture. Suet cages that are only open at the bottom tend to be starling-resistent but allow woodpeckers, nuthatches, and chickadees to feed by clinging upside down. Suet also can be tied to trees or smeared into knotholes.
