[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 301937, member: 1963"] I had one twirly one and one "cube" made of corn and gelatine to bind it. That sat in a wired feeder much like the ones you see used for feeding suet blocks. I'm very tempted to give it another try for this winter. You can get suet blocks now that have bits of fruit mixed in along with mealworms and/or crickets and the like. husband found out something very interesting about keeping non-avian critters out of bird food.\ Turns out that "hot" pepper tastes very sweet to birds and they love the stuff. They don't get the "burn" effect we mammals get from chile peppers. I can't remember the name of the products but years back when we had the wildlife garden in the back of our house, husband and I used the spiced foods and believe me, the squirrels were history after the first bite or two.
