The Nuttery caged suet feeders are designed to allow smaller birds in but exclude large birds such as pigeons, magpies and rooks and squirrels. This caged feeder provides a safe haven for the smaller birds. Easy to fill and clean.
“Well made and attractive product but so far the fat balls don't seem to be going down as quickly as in a traditionally shapped cylinder one. This may be because the birds are going for the seeds I have up instead?? I'll wait and see how this does in the Winter months.”
“The fat cake is too far away from the sides of the cage so the birds cannot get at it ! The fat cake has stayed the same size as when I first put it out 3 weeks ago. I wanted to protect the fat cake from the squirrels but not from the birds themselves!”
Thank you for your feedback, sometimes with a new feeder the bird will take some time to get used to it and they may not be comfortable going inside the cage yet.
Have you tried removing other feeders for a few days to encourage the birds to feed only from this feeder as they will always take an easier option but if the easier option is removed they soon become accustomed to a new feeder.
