The capsaicin seasoning is harmless to birds but helps discourage mammalian pests, so more of the calories and nutrients go to cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees and other seed-eating visitors. Each cake fits platform-style feeders such as the Mr. Bird NeatFeeder XL and is formulated to remain stable in warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Flaming Hot Feast keep squirrels from stealing bird food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipe uses capsaicin-based hot pepper oil that birds tolerate but most squirrels find unpleasant.
