Suet Feeder
Great for winter or year 'round, suet provides birds with the energy they need to make it through the winter, or to raise young in the spring..
Suet feeders take a wide variety of suet cakes, including non-melting cakes made with compressed seed or even nuts or fruit. This winter, I had a downy woodpecker feeding on the suet feeder below my thistle seed feeder. To encourage woodpeckers, chickadees, and other upside down feeding birds, try one of the upside-down feeders like the one shown here. It will discourage sparrows, which have troubles feeing upside-down. Woodpeckers will also frequent a tail-prop feeder.
