Suet In July and Hummingbirds

I've been hearing from many customers that say that they only feed suet in the winter. These folks are missing out on quite a show! Many adult birds bring in the babies to eat suet. You won't want to miss out on the woodpeckers, nuthatches etc. loudly calling their young to the suet feeder.

Use no-melt doughs in warm weather as our doughs maintain their integrity to 135 degrees!

Offer a variety of suet flavors. Robins and mockingbirds love the berry suets. Make sure the ingredients in your suet or suet dough are all natural with no dyes or preservatives.

July is the time to add more hummingbird feeders to keep up with the increased activity. The fledglings will be visiting as well as adults!

Display your hummingbird feeders near a window or patio so you can easily view these little birds. Birds and Blooms is one of my favorite magazines and the recent issue provides a tip - hang a banana peel near your hummingbird feeder and the hummingbirds will eat the fruit flies!!
