Suet BlockTM
is the original wild bird food to use insects to provide a nutritional
element. OSBTM
was compounded upon observation that most suet eating birds are insect
eaters. We use only beef kidney suet that we process on site because it
has greater density, hardness and more calories per gram than the
commonly used tallows. Fully two percent of OSBTM
is dehydrated insect. This is by far the highest ratio of insect
material to other ingredient to be found in any insect augmented
commercial bird food for either wild birds or caged birds.
Whole and
ground larvae, pupae and adult flies are used in our wild bird foods
because the different stages of the insect provide differing
nutritional benefits.
Reports from numerous Oregon Suet BlockTM
users state that when compared with other suet brands OSBTM
receives an equal number of pecks by visiting birds and lasts three to
four times as long as the other products. This is important information
because OSBTM
often costs twice the other brands but is, in the long run, more
economical as well as nutritionally superior.
When Oregon Suet BlockTM
was introduced it was endorsed by John Farrand, Jr., editor of the
National Audubon Society's Master's Guide to Birding as " the best new
wild bird food on the market in twenty five years". Oregon Suet BlockTM
appeals to woodpeckers, flickers, nuthatches, chickadees and many other
birds. It is reported that it does not attract starlings and is of no
interest to squirrels. OSBTM
is suitable for year around use although in summer place the hanger
deep in shady foliage or in the shade on the north side of the house.
