What kind of suet do bluebirds like?

But as the weather gets cold and insects are scarce or non-existent, they will really eat up the nutritious and energy-filled suet that you provide for them. Commercially made suet cakes are easy and relatively inexpensive. Cakes with hulled sunflower, peanut bits, raisins, and ground up corn meal are very good.

Will bluebirds eat plain suet?

Bluebirds generally prefer homemade over storebought suet mixes. Keep your feeder clean, and only stock it with fresh food. Bluebirds do need a balanced diet, so do not over-offer supplemental food.
