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.
“I bought this Caged Suet Block Feeder, because my original feeder was being attacked by birds varying in size from Jackdaws downward and they were hanging on the outside of the cage and sticking their heads thropugh the sides to extract the food. They were consuming two suet blocks a day. I needed a better feeder and bought this one, unfortunately the larger birds still managed to get food fron the feeder. I have now solved the prodlem by putting the feeder inside a ground feeder. The problem would not have happened if the feeder had a wider diameter, so that although the large birds would still attack theynwould not be able to reach the blocks.”
Hello, thank you for your review.
This is a well made feeder.
It is difficult to stop Starling`s ,as their head`s are a similar size to blue tits ,so can reach in.
When Starlings have young, the parents are nonstop getting food, go for what is easiest.
Then when the young fledge they in turn rob all the feeders.
It feels like for ever, but they soon go
Starlings do a lot of good, so worth putting up with for a short while.
“A very good feeder, sturdy and well made. The birds came to it straight away and it has thwarted the squirrels. Excellent service from Vine House Farm, very well packaged with recycled environmentally friendly materials.”
“Squirrels have been a real problem with our feeders. They have eaten through everything. This seems to have beaten them. Took the birds a few days to get used to them. Now very confident and the long-tailed tits have come back”
