Hi Paul.

I bet our dogs would eat it if they had the chance-LOL! They also eat the birdseed I sprinkle on the ground for the doves and cardinals. Stupid varmints.

If you hang the suet, woodpeckers and flickers will love you! I always use the plain suet so the squirrels don't bother it.

BTW, I love hearing about all the critters you get in your yard!

I am thinking that it's the opossum. I see it coming to the platform feeder at night. May be eating a block of suet gave it indigestion and left the rest of the seed alone.

Recently, the suet block I hung is depleting slower than before. I suspect it's because woodpecker now find enough food on their own.

Paul, I have a woodpecker that still likes to hang upside down on my cheapy plastic octagonal feeder daily, eating Kaytee Nuts & Fruit and seeds. SE Michigan.
