The Armstrong Suet Cakes Variety Pack gives you three 300 g suet cakes — Woodpecker, Bird Grub/Insect, and Berry — in one bundle. It's a straightforward way to stock a suet cage feeder with variety without ordering multiple separate products. At $9.95 for 900 g of suet, it's one of the more practical options for keeping a feeding station running through the colder months across Canada.
Hang your suet feeder near trees or shrubs so birds have nearby cover — woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches tend to visit more consistently when cover is close.
Key Benefits
- Three suet varieties in one pack — Woodpecker, Bird Grub/Insect, and Berry
- Standard 300 g cake size fits most wire suet cage feeders and suet holders for birds
- Good option for testing which variety woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches prefer before reordering
- Practical for winter bird feeding in Canada, when suet demand tends to be highest
Is Suet Good for Birds?
Yes — suet is a high-fat, high-energy food that supports birds through cold weather when natural food sources are limited. In Canada, suet is most useful from late fall through early spring. It's especially effective for cavity-feeding species like woodpeckers, nuthatches, and chickadees, which burn significant energy in winter. Suet cakes placed in a wire suet holder for birds are one of the simplest ways to support these species consistently.
What Do Birds Eat in Winter in Canada?
In winter, Canadian backyard birds rely heavily on high-fat foods like suet, along with oil-rich seeds such as black oil sunflower. Woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches are among the most active winter feeder visitors in Quebec and Ontario. Offering suet bird food in a cage feeder alongside a seed feeder gives these species reliable energy through the coldest months.

Good to Know
- Running two suet feeders side by side lets you compare varieties and reduces competition at the feeder.
- Suet works well paired with a black oil sunflower seed feeder to attract a wider range of species.
- Homemade suet is an option, but commercial cakes like these are formulated to hold shape better in variable outdoor temperatures.
