		or observation............... 
  
if you scroll up to my post where it says "get creative" 
on the title 
  
the picture attached shows an old birdhouse 
that i had filled with black sunflower seed first 
and then i cut a suet cake in half and shoved it in there 
hoping to foil the wolf pack of bluejays and provide some 
suet for the other birds during the blizzrd conditions that 
were soon to follow. Having long been disatisfied with the cages 
for putting out suet cakes because during the rainy weather 
 they eventually start getting covered in black mold... 
  
this single act...(experiment) has made me re-think how 
 i'll provide suet in the future from here on out.  
  
Every type of wood pecker, 
nuthatch, and small bird has either leaned in or ventured inside to 
get some suet cake that was completely out of the weather 
and has outlasted the hanging cages by a long shot.
