    I buy this woopdpecker suet at Home DePot that has the peanut butter in it and they love,love it! I have 5 differant woodpecker’s that come to gooble it up.I have 7 suet feeders on my hangers :)You have to buy the suet cages which is really cheap.You can nail them to a tree or hang them from your feeders.It might take a while before they come.So I would start out with one and see what attacks it.If you see more then one.Get another one.I love them more then my bird feeders

    I just moved here to Md and I got my boyfriend to build me a free squrrel bird feeder stand.It holds 7 bird feeders,water hanger, 6 or 7 suet feeders.I have had all the woodpeckers you can think of.Downy,red bellie,yellow tail and pilate wood peckers.I love them all.My favorite has to be the Pilated woodpecker.I got a picture of 3 of them on my feeders.i was crawling in the floor to get my camera..lol I have had so many birds to come, I have no clue what I would want to come.A blue Heron would be nice 🙂

    Hey,I what you mean, but I fixed that problem.My boyfriend made me a bird feeder stand.He used two 4 by 4 wood post and put plastic sleeve’s around them.It look like siding.He used deck boards and I used hangers to put the feeders on.The squirrels can’t climb up them because they slip.I used to go through a bag of bird feed every 2 weeks.Now I can go up to a month or longer without buying more feed.I have 6 feeders and 7 suet feeders and a water hanger as well on it.I want to rebuild it due to the weather.It’s easy to make and not that expensive. Godd Luck!

    Bring them in for a day or two and see if that might help.You can also move them to a new location 🙂
