Cedar Suet Plug and Peanut Butter Bird Feeder with 360° Feeding

Attract woodpeckers and other suet-loving birds with the Cedar Suet Plug and Peanut Butter Bird Feeder, a versatile wooden feeder designed to offer food from every side. Its functional 360-degree feeding design gives birds plenty of room to cling, perch, and dine while adding the natural beauty of cedar to your backyard birding area.

Two sides feature blind holes that can be filled with peanut butter or a bird-safe suet mixture, while the larger openings accommodate suet plugs. This flexible design lets you offer several high-energy foods at once, making the feeder especially useful during colder months, migration, nesting season, and other times when birds benefit from extra calories.

Horizontal grooves along the feeder provide additional gripping surfaces for clinging birds, while the included perches make feeding more comfortable for species that prefer to sit. The protective roof helps shield food from direct exposure to rain and snow, and the built-in hanging loop makes it easy to display from a tree branch, shepherd’s hook, pergola, or feeding station.

Whether you are building a dedicated woodpecker feeding area or simply want to attract a wider variety of backyard birds, this cedar feeder combines natural style, practical feeding options, and enjoyable birdwatching in one compact design.

Feeding Tips

Fill the larger openings with properly sized suet plugs. The smaller holes may be packed with unsalted peanut butter or a bird-safe peanut butter and cornmeal mixture. Avoid peanut butter containing artificial sweeteners, especially xylitol.

Hang the feeder near mature trees or shrubs where woodpeckers and other clinging birds naturally forage. A location visible from a window will provide excellent birdwatching while allowing birds access to nearby cover.

Care Instructions

Check the feeder regularly and remove any spoiled or moldy food. Clean the openings and perches with warm water and a soft brush, then allow the feeder to dry completely before refilling. During warm weather, use heat-resistant suet products and avoid leaving soft foods outside long enough to spoil.
