Suet pellets are considered good for UK wild birds for several reasons:
High energy content: Suet is a dense source of calories and nutrients, which are essential for birds, especially during harsh weather conditions or when food is scarce. The high fat content in suet provides birds with the energy they need to maintain body temperature and sustain their activities.
Natural diet supplement: Suet is similar to the fatty parts of animals that birds would consume in the wild, such as insects and other small creatures. Offering suet pellets allows them to access a diet closer to their natural feeding habits.
Versatility: Suet pellets are available in various formulations, often mixed with other beneficial ingredients like seeds, nuts, and dried fruits. This variety makes it appealing to a wide range of bird species, ensuring that different types of birds can benefit from the food source.
Easy to consume: Suet pellets are easy for birds to eat and digest. They can be nibbled at by smaller birds or taken in larger chunks by bigger species. This makes them suitable for various bird sizes and beaks.
Year-round provision: While suet is particularly beneficial during colder months when birds need more energy to stay warm, it can be provided throughout the year to support wild birds' nutritional needs.
Attracts a diverse range of birds: Because suet pellets come in different blends, they can attract a variety of bird species. This diversity can enrich the birdwatching experience and help support the local bird population.
Convenient to use: Suet pellets can be placed in bird feeders or scattered on bird tables, making them easy for humans to offer as bird food. This convenience encourages people to provide sustenance to wild birds, promoting bird conservation efforts.
Remember to choose high-quality suet pellets. It's also essential to keep bird feeders clean and provide fresh water alongside the food source for the well-being of the birds
