Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: How does the Gardman Squirrel Proof Suet Feast Block deter squirrels? A1: The suet block contains natural chilli pepper. Birds do not have the same receptors as mammals for the capsaicin in chilli, so they are unaffected by its heat. Squirrels, however, find the taste of chilli very unpleasant, which discourages them from eating the suet.

Q2: Is the chilli pepper safe for birds? A2: Yes, chilli pepper is perfectly safe for birds. Birds do not possess the taste receptors that register the "heat" of capsaicin, the compound found in chilli.

Q3: What types of birds will this suet block attract? A3: This high-energy suet feast is popular with a wide range of garden birds, including various tit species (Great Tits, Blue Tits, Coal Tits), woodpeckers, nuthatches, robins, starlings, and various finches.

Q4: How do I feed this suet block? A4: This 300g block is designed to fit into standard suet block feeders. Simply place the block into a suitable feeder and hang it in your garden in an accessible spot for birds, away from potential predators.

Q5: When is the best time to offer suet to wild birds? A5: Suet is an excellent energy source year-round, but it is particularly beneficial during colder winter months when natural food sources are scarce, and during the breeding season when birds require extra energy for nesting and feeding young.

Q6: What are the main ingredients of the suet block? A6: While specific percentages may vary, these suet feast blocks typically Beef Tallow, Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Kibbled Wheat, BlackRapeseed, Yellow Millet, Linseed and Cayenne Pepper Powder. 

Q7: Will this block melt in hot weather? A7: Suet blocks can soften or melt in very hot weather, especially direct sunlight. It's best to place feeders in shaded areas during summer months or offer suet in smaller amounts to be consumed quickly.
