{"product_id":"hanging-suet-ball-feeder","title":"Hanging Suet Ball Feeder","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hinged wire sphere on a chain that holds a standard fat ball. The cage splits open, the ball drops in, and it clicks shut — which is the whole reason to own one rather than hanging a fat ball in the plastic net it came in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose nets are worth avoiding. Birds catch their feet in them, and so do the woodpeckers you most want. A wire cage does the same job without the hazard, and it lasts years instead of one ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHinged spherical wire cage, powder-coated steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging chain with an S-hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard fat balls and suet balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to put it out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuet is a cold-weather food. Hang it once nights drop below about 70°F and keep it going through winter — that is when birds need the fat and when it holds its shape instead of going soft and rancid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it brings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoodpeckers above all, and they are the reason most people start with suet. Also nuthatches, chickadees, titmice and wrens. Hang it from a branch or a hook near cover, and expect a week or two before anything finds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFat balls are not included — any supermarket or garden-centre ball fits.
