C&S Peanut Nuggets 27 Ounces, 6 Pack

The birds and squirrels give this suet a 2 wings up rating

I find the peanut flavor attracts a wide variety of birds, though some might consider a few species "nuisance" birds. Blue Jays, Crows, Cardinals, Juncos, Sparrows, Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Chickadees, and Starlings that can overrun a feeder. Very convenient for platform feeders or tube feeders that also hold peanuts. I scatter some on the patio but make sure all gets eaten so as not to attract ground pests. Great for any time of year/weather.

I’ve use these for years and I can’t hardly keep them in my home because the birds like these, three types of squirrels like these, the chipmunks like these. There’s three or four different flavors and they like all of them. I feel the feeders specially made for these suet balls sometimes twice a day

I put out a mixture of these, sunflower seeds, whole peanuts and other mixed bird seed, and these nuggets always disappear first. They love it!

The media could not be loaded.  So for the last few years I have really gotten into backyard birding and that hobby involved having lots of different bird feeders and trying lots of different seed and food varieties for the birds. I have tried striped sunflower, safflower, nyjer seed, mixed bird seed, black oil sunflower, etc., etc. I quickly learned that black oil sunflower was about the best you could get for your money. . . lots of birds like it, and it is reasonable priced. However after a couple of years I started changing my mind just because of all the mess from shells and seeds sprouting under my feeder. Soon suet became my feed of choice. It is pretty cheap, doesn't sprout or make near the mess that seed did. . . and even though it did not attract as many birds as sunflower, the birds it attracted were the ones I enjoy the most (woodpeckers, chickadees, titmouse, etc.). I fed the square suet in the hanging cage and started to miss having a the look of a feeder in my yard (vs. a hanging square cage). I came across this item in a Home Depot. . . one bag of peanut flavored was just under $4. What originally attracted me to it was that it was suet that could be feed in a regular feeder. I bought a bag and tried it out, and was hooked. No shells, no sprouting, lasts a long time without spoiling or going bad, will not melt (I am in South Texas which gets very hot), can be feed in a regular feeder, and the birds love it. I saw this value pack of orange flavored on Amazon and couldn't pass it up. It is a little more expensive per bag than what I pay at Home Depot. . . but I am willing to pay more for the orange flavor (which I have never seen at Home Depot). The birds in my yard seem to prefer the orange suet over anything else (peanut is a close 2nd). This is all I feed now. If I want to change it up, I will throw a hand full of sunflower seed in with it, but mostly I just feed these nuggets straight. The other other thing I like is that the birds don't just camp out and eat like they do with sunflower. . . they usually stop by. . . grab a nuggets and move on (see attached video). Well worth a try, I highly recommend it and hope my review helped a little.

UPDATE 8/15/13 - I changed from 3 Stars to 5 Stars.It took the nuthatches and smaller woodpeckers (which I did not intend to feed, but I can't stop them) about 4 (four) weeks to start eating these suet nuggets. Once these birds found the nuggets, these birds won't stop eating the nuggets.My intended bird to feed was/is the Eastern Bluebird. However, it took my bluebirds nearly 4 (four) months (yes, months!) to find these suet nuggets. I am not sure how many nuggets the bluebirds are eating because I mix these nuggets with dried meal worms. The bluebirds eat the dried meal worms all day long, but I do not see them eating much of the suet nuggets.I have to replenish the nuggets in the feeder daily. So yes, the birds do like these meal worms, especially the nuthatches and small woodpeckers. It just took the birds a long time to find the nuggets. Maybe the birds had to get used to a new feeder ... ???********************************************************************************************************I don't know where these are made - imported?It is hard for me to rate these suet nuggets because I can't get any bird to eat them.I gave it 3 stars because the suet is fresh, well packaged, smells good and is the perfect size for small birds. I would give it 5 stars if the birds would eat it.I have the suet in the blue bird feeder that I bought on Amazon (Droll Yankees X1 Seed Saver Domed Feeder). Now, are the birds not eating the nuggets because the suet is awful or because the suet nuggets are in a poorly designed feeder?I put the feeder under a tree where the bluebirds perch and left it in this location for 3-4 weeks, but the birds never ate anything. The birds began nesting, so I moved the feeder under a different tree where the male bluebird perches. The feeder has been in this location for another 3-4 weeks and still no feeding.I put fresh suet nuggets in the feeder tray after each rainstorm, but this does not help either. Do I have dumb or finicky birds?I bought six bags of this stuff so I could get free shipping and then I found this same exact brand and flavor in W-Mart for dollars less per bag. I should have bought one bag at W-Mart and saved myself $25-.I am disappointed that my birds will not eat this and I wish I knew why.

The birds like this so much I buy it in bulk for year-round feeding. It’s easy to dispense, not at all messy. I’m giving it 5 stars for “flavor” because I assume the birds like the taste given how quickly they go through it.

Good value for money compared to in-store purchase. Only issue is lots of pellets are broken up in each bag creating a lot of “dust”. Likely due to shipping?
