• Summertime suet?

    Question

    I've heard that you should not continue to put suet out during the summer. Is this true? Is it too much fat content for the birds?

    Naturalist's Response

    Actually, the reason to not supply suet in the summer is that there are plenty of insects with protein for the birds during this time of year; also, suet goes bad very quickly in the warm weather.
