This Kettle Moraine feeder holds two standard suet cakes in a cedar frame and extends a long tail prop below the cages so big woodpeckers can brace their stiff tail feathers and feed in their natural vertical stance. The double capacity keeps a high-traffic feeder stocked longer between refills.
Hang it from a branch or pole near woods, load two suet cakes, and offer it through the cold months when pileated, hairy, and downy woodpeckers rely on fat. The cedar weathers naturally and the cages open to reload.
Kettle Moraine has built backyard bird feeders in Wisconsin for years, working in natural cedar and recycled materials made to last outdoors.
