I didn't rear Ravens whole post but I did see the suet part. Woodpeckers love it. Very rarely ever get on birdfeeder and eat seed. They perch in poplar and shagbark hickory trees and make a racket with thier beaks, and then fly to 4 x 4 above the suet feeder and back themselves down the 4 x 4 to suets level and eat away. Its cheap at agway and if you cut a empty plastic gallon milk container to about a third of its width and screw it in, so that it covers the suet feeder the covering will keep the pests from gorging themselves on the suet. Also place feeder above squirrell baffle.
