Gross!
This suet is AWFUL, short story.. do not buy. I have bought a lot of kaytee products over the years; feeders, seed and bags of peanuts, weekly. I have always been happy with the product although sometimes I feel the fancier seed blends are over priced. I make my own suet but usually in batches of 8 bricks so I use it as a special treat and I run out before the weeks end. In the winter and northeast spring, I go through 3 a day, 6 if there’s heavy snow. I hang 2 commercial and one homemade. Mine is gone in 2 hours, tops. The commercial last 5 or 6 hours. I live in a heavily wooded area and my neighbors don’t feed, so the birds are really dependent on this to get through the freezing nights. I spend a lot of money to keep them stocked and I do it happily, I have a couple dependable brands I am loyal to. What does not make me happy is when you pay good money for someone to feed your birds garbage. I saw this kaytee on a deal and bought 6, thinking it would be great. Nope. This suet is so sticky and soft, it’s the consistency of room temperature bacon fat. The first one I opened was so soft it had cracks running through it and I thought it must be a “dud” and opened a second brick only to find that one just as soft. You can hardly get it out of the mold without shoving your finger down the side to pop it out. It’s cloudy and has hardly anything but pulverized corn in it. It messes the cages up, looking like someone smeared vaseline on them and instead of cleaning them every other day, I’m cleaning them daily and even straight dawn dish soap has trouble stripping the “fat” off the cage. I put out 3 bricks total then decided it was more trouble than it was worth. I don’t know what they’re putting in this but it’s not good for the birds and they hate it. I hung a brick and 2 days later it was still there, 75% intact, I saw a few grackles peck at it and that’s it. In my photo the kaytee is on the left and on the right is the generic grocery store brand for 99 cents that I only buy when I’m running low and either won’t have a shipment coming for some days or because a storm is coming soon. I’ll grab a dozen bricks just to have something but feel guilty giving them the “cheap stuff”. That store brand looks like filet mignon next to a bologna sandwich compared next to the kaytee.
