Most suet and seed gifts are built around chickadees, woodpeckers, and jays, and skip fruit-eating birds entirely. The All Season Fruit & Nut Bell adds golden raisins, papaya, and apple specifically to bring in orioles and mockingbirds too.
What Makes This Attract Orioles and Mockingbirds?
The base is a standard mix of safflower, pecans, peanuts, sunflower hearts, and black oil sunflower, but the added golden raisins, papaya, and apple are what pull in fruit-eating species. According to the product page, that fruit may attract a different variety of birds, including orioles and mockingbirds, that wouldn't otherwise stop at a plain seed or nut feeder.
Why Is It Shaped Like a Bell?
It's not a log or a cake, it's a 5 in x 4 in bell, 397g (14oz), built with a never-melt, no-mess formulation, so it can go up early and hold its shape through a warm spell. The bell shape is also part of the pitch here: the product page describes it as sure to attract not just birds but compliments, which makes it a gift for someone who cares how their feeding station actually looks.
