We find that lots of birds love the peanut suet. There aren't any seeds in it (they can get those at the other feeders) and they gobble it up. The catbirds, cardinals, mockingbirds, woodpeckers (red bellied and downy), nuthatches, titmice/mouses, and chickadees come to it a lot. We often see hummers feeding at the flowers in our gardens, but not much at the feeder so far. They usually eat from the feeder more in late summer and early fall when they're fattening up to head across the Gulf. (How do dey do dat???)

I think that grosbeak was injured. I found her this afternoon hanging around my [frozen] pond. I probably just about stepped on her when i was putting up the Christmas lights. :-/ Anyway, she couldn't seem to fly, though i thought i saw her flying yesterday. She was around for awhile, but i was busy (we were putting in a new kitchen window!), and later when i looked for her she was gone. I'm hoping that she got away somewhere and that the dog didn't get her.

i save most of the mesh bags i get. the nyger or thistle bags work great for sunflower chips or fine chopped nuts. the bags some oranges or lemons come in often do great for boss and some of the bigger mesh good for the striped sunflower seeds or the spanish peanuts. one i got does good for cracked corn. most any of the hangng birds like the bags. a few of the starlings or blackbirds do learn to use the bags but don't have the patience to empty them like they do some of the other feeders.

One of my favs! (Who am I kidding.....they are all my favs!) They sure do love that suet!
