A soft, ready-to-feed nugget is what lets suet-, insect-, and fruit-eating songbirds get suet's benefits without a hanging cage. That's what Sunflower Suet Nuggets offers, a resealable bag of nuggets processed further than a solid suet cake.
Why Is This Nugget Softer Than a Solid Suet Cake?
It's processed further than a solid suet cake into a soft nugget that appeals to suet-, insect-, and fruit-eating songbirds. Mixing it into the seed in a standard feeder lets birds that won't cling to a suet cage, cardinals among them, get the same benefits.
How Is It Actually Fed, and What Does It Attract?
It can be fed alone on a platform feeder, or in a nugget, peanut, or sunflower feeder using 1/3-inch wire mesh, or blended with 5 to 10 pounds of seed and fed from a tube or hopper feeder. It's marketed as drawing cardinals and woodpeckers, among other songbirds.
Who This Is For
- Anyone who wants suet's benefits to reach birds that won't cling to a cage
- A birder feeding woodpeckers and cardinals from the same setup
- A gift paired with a platform feeder or a bag of seed
- Someone who wants a ready-to-feed option with no prep or mess
Quick Questions About These Suet Nuggets
What's in Sunflower Suet Nuggets?
Corn, sunflower meal, rendered beef suet, oats, raisins, and soy oil.
How much seed should these be mixed with?
5 to 10 pounds of a favorite wild bird seed mix, if blending rather than feeding the nuggets alone.
How is this different from the berry-flavoured version?
This one uses sunflower meal and raisins rather than cherry flavoring and blueberries, and it's marketed specifically toward cardinals and woodpeckers.
A Softer Way to Get Suet to More Birds
Not every bird at the feeder can cling to a suet cage. Sunflower Suet Nuggets reaches them anyway, mixed right into the seed they're already eating.
