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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"41:1-42:161\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: Is the chilli pepper safe for birds?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"44:1-45:208\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: What types of birds will this suet block attract?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"47:1-48:209\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ4: How do I feed this suet block?\u003c\/strong\u003e A4: This 300g block is designed to fit into standard suet block feeders.
