This Kettle Moraine feeder holds one standard suet cake in a cedar frame and adds a tail prop below the cage so woodpeckers can brace their tail feathers and feed in the upright posture they use on tree trunks. The single-cake size suits a quieter yard or a second suet station.
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 cedar weathers naturally and the cage opens to reload.
Kettle Moraine has built backyard bird feeders in Wisconsin for years, working in natural cedar and recycled materials made to last outdoors.
