The local birds chewed right through all the suet I left out (understandable). I just refilled the suet cages and will whip up some more today (two batches -- one with mealworms, millet and sunflower seeds, the other fruit & nut mix). Hubby asked, "Why do you make suet cakes for the birds? You know you could just buy it." To which I replied, "Why do we make home cooked meals when we could just buy quick meals?"
