At times when wild birds are involved in a great deal
of activity, such as staking out a territory, attracting a mate, courting, nesting, raising young and migrating they will consume what seems like large quantities of suet fat.

The other times large quantities maybe consumed is when Blackbirds and Starlings discover this rich food source in your feeder.

It may not seem like a healthy choice as we know what happens to people when we consume large quantities of animal fat…

The saving grace for healthy hearts in wild
birds is their high activity levels and their natural grazing style of
eating.

There are no motorized vehicles to carry them through their day
and no entertainment units awaiting them to fill their evenings while they idly sit back.

Therefore there is no heart disease, which makes suet a safe choice for
bird feeding.
