Wakefield premium bird feeders are hand-crafted in the USA and made of only the finest, sustainably-grown Eastern White Pine Wood. Eastern White Pine is an ideal material for bird feeders because it provides superior insulation during the summer and winter months while remaining light in weight and easy to hang. The Wakefield Upside-Down Suet Feeder is specially designed to hold a single cake of suet for birds that prefer to eat by hanging upside-down, such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, and titmice. This also helps to naturally reduce unwanted birds such as starlings, blackbirds, and grackles, which are not comfortable hanging upside-down when they eat. The upside-down design helps shield the suet from the elements - rain, snow, sun, and moisture, keeping it fresh for longer and allowing for the birds to comfortably enjoy their meal throughout the day. Providing suet is a great way to supplement a bird's diet year-round, especially during the colder months when birds need extra energy to keep warm. Suet is a high-energy formulation of animal fat and other ingredients that makes the perfect substitute for the insects that birds usually feed upon but may not be plentiful in cold weather. For your convenience, the Wakefield Upside-Down Suet Feeder is also incredibly easy to set up, maintain, and use. Simply hang it from your favorite tree or branch, open the roof and insert your suet cake to watch the feeding frenzy begin! We recommend hanging your suet feeder close to the trunk of the tree, approximately 5 to 6 feet from the ground to attract the most birds. Each Wakefield Bird Feeder is constructed to last and includes a brochure that describes the species, placement, and maintenance of the bird feeder.
