Birds Choice Suet Feeder with Tail Prop & Roof — Taupe & Brown, Single-Cake Weatherproof Feeding Station

Birds Choice Suet Feeder with Tail Prop and Roof is a single-cake, weatherproof hanging suet feeder made in the USA from recycled poly lumber that gives woodpeckers and other backyard birds a sturdy place to feed.

This compact, eco-friendly suet feeder combines durable recycled plastic construction, a protective roof, and a built-in tail prop so clinging birds feed comfortably. Designed and manufactured in Wisconsin, the feeder resists cracking, splitting, and fading and uses rust-resistant hardware for long outdoor life. It holds one standard suet cake and suits a wide range of songbirds and woodpeckers while helping you maintain a low-maintenance feeding station in your yard.

How does the tail prop improve feeding for woodpeckers and other birds?

The integrated 5.5-inch tail prop offers a stable perch directly beneath the suet cake so vertically clinging species can brace themselves as they peck. That stability encourages longer feeding visits and makes the feeder accessible to species that prefer to cling rather than sit on a ledge.

• 5.5" tail prop for secure bracing by woodpeckers and larger birds
• Wide opening gives straightforward access to the suet cake
• Improves visibility and comfort for clinging species

What materials and hardware keep this feeder weatherproof?

The body is molded from recycled poly lumber derived from plastic jugs and bottles, chosen to withstand outdoor cycles without cracking or fading. Aluminum hinges resist rust and stainless-steel screws secure the assembly for years of reliable use.

• Recycled poly lumber construction resists splitting and UV fade
• Aluminum rust-resistant hinges for the roof panel
• Stainless-steel fasteners prevent corrosion in wet conditions

Which birds are most likely to visit this suet feeder?
