While woodpeckers are able to easily use this feeder, it can sometimes take some training. Nuthatches (the upside down bird) probably won't need much training to use this suet feeder.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eWe advise you not begin using this feeder until temperatures begin to get fairly cold. During early to mid fall, bugs and berries are still plentiful, meaning you may not get much use out of it immediately.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWait, why don't we want to feed starlings?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eStarlings send a scout bird to a yard first. Once the scout is sure of the food supply, the entire flock will come, draining your seed in a matter of hours. They will come day after day if you keep putting food out, and this eventually becomes very expensive.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe more important reason is that European Starlings are invasive birds (not native to North American). Though these birds are beautiful and interesting, they ruthlessly kill native birds for nesting and roosting spaces. They viscously attack native woodpeckers, including northern flickers. Ultimately, Starlings cause a decline in the native bird population.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eTo help native birds in your backyard thrive, take steps to prevent invasive birds (European Starlings and old world sparrows such as the house sparrow) from coming to your yard.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nest Hollow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837351260213,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/7684\/1781\/files\/d9afbfbc-SERUBSUDF100HD1.jpg?v=1765063815","url":"https:\/\/nesthollow.com\/products\/small-upside-down-suet-feeder","provider":"Nest Hollow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
