During the fall it's common to see birds caching food for the winter! In one research study, 50 Blue Jays were observed selecting and caching 150,000 acorns over a period of 28 days. Each bird cached a total of 3,000 acorns by selecting and hiding an average of 107 acorns per day. Think they remember where they hid all those?

Brown Creepers search for insects by starting at the base of a tree and climbing, sometimes spiraling, up the trunk. They fly to the base of the next tree and start up again. This feeding pattern is what inspired Jim's Birdacious Bark Butter to be created! Since then, Bark Butter has attracted over 150 different species of birds!!! Have you ever seen a Brown Creeper in your yard???

Suet cylinders are a great, easy way to provide your birds tons of energy, fat, and protein. These foods come in all different types of flavors (including hot pepper)! Not to mention that the birds love them!
