Upside Down Suet Feeder
Would you like to build your own upside down suet feeder? I can show you just how easy it is.Suet is similar to natural insect food, which is why, on its own, it will attract many wild birds. If you add seed, fruit and nuts it becomes an almost irresistible food for backyard birds. Adding suet to your feeding station will attract many desirable birds including woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, titmice and wrens. It will also attract a few undesirable guests including squirrels and starlings. One way to discourage these unwanted guests from devouring your suet bird food is by using an upside down suet feeder. Squirrels will find it difficult and tiresome feeding while hanging upside down and it is nearly impossible for starlings. But tree clinging birds such as woodpeckers, nuthatches and wrens will have no trouble at all. Building your own upside down suet feeder can be done in a few minutes and only requires a few simple tools. The good news is that this project will only cost you about $6.00. Materials
It will not take long for your backyard birds to find your new upside down bird feeder.You can make an upside down suet feeder that is a little nicer using cedar and adding a roof. The basics are the same. You will have to add some angles to the required cuts and you will need two large pieces for the roof. Give it a try these, this style has a very nice look. ![]()
