Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast Spicy Bird Seed Cylinder 4-Pack 4 lb 3 oz — Squirrel-Resistant, No-Mess Suet & Seed

Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast is a large, spicy seed-and-suet cylinder designed to attract seed-eating songbirds while deterring squirrels.

This handcrafted cylinder blends sunflower hearts, peanuts, protein-rich mealworms, golden safflower, hot pepper oil and suet nuggets into a compact, no-mess cake that hangs in a feeder or sits in a cylinder-style holder. Each 4 lb 3 oz log is made in the USA by a family-owned company with decades of backyard-feeding experience. Note: the formulation contains a strong eye, nose and skin irritant; handle carefully and wash hands after contact. Keep away from children and pets.

How does this cylinder keep squirrels away but still feed birds?

The recipe uses capsaicin-rich hot pepper oil that birds do not detect the way mammals do. That spicy element discourages squirrels from chewing or eating the log while birds continue to feed normally.

• Hot pepper oil repels mammals without harming birds
• High-value seeds and suet attract cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees
• Dense cake form prevents easy grab-and-run by squirrels

Will this product create a mess or melt in warm weather?

The Flaming Hot Feast is formulated to stay solid in summer heat and crumble minimally at feeders. Its suet-and-seed structure reduces loose debris under feeding stations compared with loose seed.

• No melting in typical backyard temperatures
• Minimal seed scatter and less cleanup beneath feeders
• Longer-lasting than smaller cakes and seed mixes

How should I hang or install the cylinder?

You can hang the cylinder directly from a branch or use it with a compatible cylinder feeder such as the Mr. Bird EZFeeder for a secure setup. The packed shape fits most tube- and cylinder-style holders and stays in place.

• Use an open-holder or dedicated cylinder feeder for best fit
• Hang high enough to reduce access by pets and children
• Replace the cylinder when fully consumed or weather-worn

What birds will this attract and when is it best to use?

This high-energy mix appeals to a broad range of seed-eating backyard birds year-round, especially during migration and colder months when birds seek calorie-dense foods. Cardinals, woodpeckers and chickadees commonly visit these cylinders.

• Attracts songbirds that prefer sunflower, safflower and suet
• Effective year-round; particularly useful in fall/winter
• Works well in wooded and suburban yards where birds forage

Who is this for? The Flaming Hot Feast cylinder is made for backyard birders who want a low-mess, long-lasting feeding option that prioritizes birds over squirrels. It's a good choice for homeowners who want fewer trips refilling feeders, for anyone seeking an easy hanging or feeder-mounted solution, and for gift-givers looking for a memorable present for nature lovers. Because the product contains a strong irritant, it's best for adult users who can handle it safely and follow the included handling instructions.
