birdfeeder

Question

I’m baffled to find that the suet blocks I put on the high bird feeder keeps disappearing overnight they are not on the ground I have seen a squirrel acasionally feeding from there but not often I would have thought a suet block would be to awkward and heavy for a squirrel to carry off ? its mostlt pigeons that feed from there as they have seen off the smaller birds what can be taking the suet blocks away ?

Answer 1

Since this is happening at night, suspicions turn to nocturnal animals like raccoons and opossums. Both are climbers and opportunistic feeders.
