Bluebird on my Christmas tree
reminder:
SUET IS WHAT BIRDS REALLY want right now
that and melted water (a scarce item at below freezing)
the regular store bought suet cakes SUCK right now!
because in these temps they freeze solid as a rock and only
the strongest HAMMER HEAD birds in the woodpecker family can
bust some loose....
BUT, the regular MEAT section beef suet sliced like your carving a turkey -->
then fine chopped into 1/4 inch cubes is PERFECT
Seeing a blue bird swallow those...
the equivalent of a slider hamburger to us....
..... makes it OBVIOUS they are surviving and thriving
given the right food at below freezing temperatures.
Happy new year
