"Strange as it may sound, this product is almost TOO good!!! Birds love it, and I’ve noticed several new species around the feeder. (Squirrels are also thrilled…. not surprisingly). Be prepared, this suet cake will will be consumed faster than most others!"

— Wilkie1

"I ordered 2 cases of this only to be disappointed. The wild birds will NOT touch this. It contains more whole black sunflower seeds than suet; to the point where birds have to work around what little suet there is and leave behind the whole seed so they won't choke. I purchased the suet based on rev..."

Bottom Line

If you have a diverse bird population and want to attract more species, this product is worth trying. However, be aware that not all birds might be convinced by the pecan surprise inherent in the suet, which might be too overwhelming for birds. Stressing quality control over cacophonically large quantities in favor of pecans would be a considered change in rails.
