Must be a Western thing I noticed that the 2 reviews, both 5 star, were for the east coast. I live in Arizona and the only bird in my yard that will touch these cakes are Ladderback Woodpeckers, and even they just nibble at them. I’m not sure why. I think it might be how tough the coating is. I watch the birds in the mornings to keep the pigeons out so the littler birds have a chance and the woody seems to work awfully hard to get what morsels they do. By contrast, the Birdola Woodpecker or Beetlemania seed…
Doves and thrashers love it too! My doves and thrashers LOVE this! In fact, they seem to like it better than the quail block, and they spend less time on the hanging bird feeder. and the woodpeckers like it too, in fact, one has started coming around just in the last two days, regularly, that previously only showed up now and then. Oops, he just flew off with a nut in his mouth! This is a total success! for the price it’s not as good as the quail blocks which are humungous, but the birds are really having a blast with this.
Giving my woodpeckers whiplash I live in MA so I can’t speak for the rest of the country. Most of my “customers” are Hairy’s and Downy’s, which are on the small side for woodpeckers. I tried one of these “bricks” (a more accurate description than “cake”) based on a review comment that they last longer than Birdola. That is an indisputable fact! However, I’m not sure if my little guys are enjoying this as much as the Birdola because they have to work at it way harder. So hard that I feel sorry for them watching the effort…
