"Using the hot pepper suet is a game changer...the bears won't eat it, so I can keep feeding birds through the summer. The birds who love it...chickadees, tufted titmouse, all woodpeckers, rose breasted grosbeaks, cardinals, nuthatches, catbirds, bluejays. They all prefer the Sizzlin' Heat over other..."
