Suet For the Woodpeckers

George's Suet Feeder

My elderly neighbour just loves to putter around making things for his garden and the birds. He made a suet feeder for the birds that worked so well and held quite a bit of suet. The woodpeckers just loved it and so did a lot of other birds.

I don't have a camera right now so I drew a picture the best I can. I think it's pretty self explanatory. But should say that the suet is held by screening which has fairly large holes, not the tiny ones. The screen is stapled to the board.

The lid is also necessary with a hook that fits into the screen, as the squirrels will just cart it away if left open.

I hope this is OK for what you are looking for? I think home made has such a great attraction for humans and birds.
