This Kettle Moraine feeder holds one standard suet cake in a recycled poly-lumber frame and adds a tail prop below the cage so woodpeckers can brace their tail in the upright posture they use on bark. The poly construction resists rot, warp, and the greasy residue suet leaves, staying serviceable season after season.
Hang it from a branch or pole near cover, load a suet cake, and offer it through fall and winter when downy, hairy, and red-bellied woodpeckers seek high-energy fat. The cage opens to reload and the frame wipes clean.
Kettle Moraine has built backyard bird feeders in Wisconsin for years, working in natural cedar and recycled poly lumber made to last outdoors.
