I’ve tested a ton of suet for bird feeding over the years and the Attractor Peanut Suet Plugs are one of my favorite products to use for my birch log suet feeder. I have seen Downy, Hairy, and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers all eat this with delight.

I’ve been enjoying writing review stories for bird feed and bird feeders recently on Dan’s Bird Bites, and I wanted to do a quick one on this suet product. If you have a suet log feeder, or are considering one, I’d highly recommend these suet plugs as the bird feed to accompany it.

Why I Love This Suet Product

I’ve used these suet plugs since 2020 and buy mine from Minnesota All Season’s Wild Bird Stores. They’re also sold online, which I’ll link to below. I know I mentioned some before, but here’s a full list of birds I’ve seen eating this suet (either on my Birch Log feeder, or remnants from the ground).

• American Crows
• Black-Capped Chickadees
• Blue Jays (from the ground)
• Dark-Eyed Juncos (from the ground)
• Downy Woodpeckers
• Hairy Woodpeckers
• House Sparrows
• Mallards (from the ground)
• Northern Cardinals (from the ground)
• Red-Bellied Woodpeckers
• Red-Breasted Nuthatch
• White-Breasted Nuthatch

I’m not in a great sport for Pileated Woodpeckers, but associates at my local bird store claim they also love this product. I learned these suet plugs are also created by a Veteran-owned business, which is fantastic.

I love that these suet logs are…tender. If that’s the right word? It’s malleable and easy for me to form around my suet log, almost like Play-Doh! It gives a wider spot for birds to eat from.

Are There Any Downsides to this Suet Product?

The only downside is that these aren’t cheap. At the time of this article, I just bought a pack of three suet logs for $7 at my Wild Bird Store (subject to change).

These suet logs are so popular with my birds that I often find myself needing to re-supply it on my feeder ever other week. It’s a good problem to have! But, you might want to consider switching back and forth to a cheaper suet cake in a cage to save some money.

But, I find these worth buying regularly due to their popularity with the birds!
