C. & S. Prod. 12563 Sunflower Suet Cake Treat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have been using these C&S Suet cakes for about three our four years now. We have ten to twelve suet baskets installed around and near our house; most in plan view, others rather hidden. Living in the middle of an isolated woodland area with many trees and much brush gives the birds plenty of room to establish their own territory.
We use the C&S brand first because the birds like the stuff. Of the many "flavors" they offer, we have not found one that the birds reject to any extent. I have watched rather closely and cannot tell a significant difference. Perhaps others may have a different experience and different observations. Secondly, this product can be used year round. It does not melt when the weather is hot, and we do have some hanging in the direct sun. Third, they do not seem to attract the insects that some brands do, nor to that have a bad odor, and fourth, the price of this product is extremely competitive compared to other brands. To be quite frank, I have tried many of the more expensive brands and cannot tell one bit of difference in them and the C&S brand. I might add that it is always available at local stores in our area which make it rather convenient.

We use the C&S holders and personally prefer the front loaders, i.e. the ones that have tension clips on the top and swing down. We have our holders mounted on trees in a solid fashion at various heights. We do use small staples to permanently attach the basket to the tree as we have found that once in a while raccoons will try to take the entire basket to where ever raccoons take things. C&S dose make a variety of suet baskets and a person needs to figure out which works the best in their particular situation.

We also use the baskets with the coated wider (no rust) and the smaller holes, as this seems to cut down on rodent pilferage...although I do not begrudges an occasional furry critter having a quick meal.

These cakes are primarily used by birds of the woodpecker tribe although, especially in the winder, we do have other species use them. We have a rather large woodpecker population near and around us.
