OFFER FATS AND FRUITS
Suet is a great winter food. It's a pure fat substance that provides high energy when insects are difficult to find.
We have many suet choices with add-ins like fruits and berries, nuts and even insects to make them tastier to the birds.
We have a variety of suets in familiar cake form, but also suet dough Stackables, a suet dough cylinder, and a selection of suet plugs, including Hot Pepper (no squirrels!)

ENERGY-PACKED CYLINDERS
Bird food cylinders are a win-win for you and your birds. Cylinders, like our Nutty for Nuts cylinder, are a long-lasting food source.
The birds cling on the cylinder and stay longer at the feeder instead of grabbing a morsel and quickly flying away to eat it elsewhere. Nutty for Nuts is packed with high-calorie peanut and tree nut energy to help the birds stay warm.

OPEN WATER = WARM BIRDS
Providing an open water source in winter is a wonderful way to attract a variety of birds, including the American Robin that typically don’t visit feeders.
Heated baths provide a reliable source of water for bathing and drinking. Birds will bathe in winter, as it is especially important in cold weather to keep feathers in top insulating condition.
Available water for drinking helps birds maintain a healthy metabolism to stay warm. Use a heated bird bath or add a heater to your existing plastic, metal or stone birdbath to keep open water available even on the coldest days.
