suet cake
Feeder fat brick
A suet cake is a block of rendered beef fat mixed with seeds, grains, and sometimes dried fruit, hung outdoors to feed wild birds.
The high-fat content provides energy for birds in cold weather.
Suet cakes fit into special cage-like feeders that let birds cling while pecking: The woodpeckers love the suet cake we put out.
