With 50% more fat than our traditional Suet Fat Balls, our Super Suet Fat Balls are a firm favourite with garden birds and therefore a popular choice for many of our customers to buy. Our fat balls for wild birds are a valuable source of energy for a wide range of species, with the Tit family especially attracted to them.

Our Super Suet Fat Balls are made from beef fat, wheat flour, peanut, linseed, rapeseed, millet seed and dried insect. Beware of cheap suet balls, as the low cost is often achieved by adding waste ingredients such as sand and sawdust to bulk them out.

I can tell they're good quality and so can the birds they absolutely love them, in the distant past I've bought other makes locally and they're very grainy and dry looking and the birds wouldn't touch them so these are super as the name suggests

More Information Frequently Asked Questions

A firm favourite with a wide range of garden bird species, our Super Suet Fat Balls provide a valuable source of energy and especially during the winter months. These Super Suet Fat balls for birds contain 50% more fat than out traditional Suet Fat Balls, and along with the base ingredient of suet, they contain mealworm powder, peanut and wheat flour.

Suet fat balls for birds can attract a wide range of bird species to gardens, with different species of Tit being especially keen to get to this high-energy food source. Along with using hanging feeders to put the Super Suet Fat Balls in, placing some loose on a ground tray or bird table will also allow species such as Robin and Blackbird to feed on them.

An important thing to keep in mind when buying fat balls for wild birds, is that the quality varies enormously. Low-cost and cheap fat balls for birds often contain inedible fillers including sand and sawdust, meaning they are of poorer quality and have a lower nutritional value. Unlike other fat balls, our Super Suet Fat Balls have no fillers and only contain good quality ingredients, so it’s worth paying that little bit extra for the benefit of the birds in your garden.

Suet balls, or fat balls as they are also known, are typically made from animal suet and other fat which is mixed with other ingredients to help preserve the product and its shape.

A very important point to understand about suet and fat balls is that the quality varies hugely between suppliers – and the poorer the quality, the less beneficial they are to birds. In other words, if you see cheap suet or fat balls on sale, you can almost guarantee they are of poor quality, have low nutritional value and have very little suet since they are filled with waste ingredients. All the suet balls we sell at Vine House Farm are of course of high quality.

The main species will be Great tit, Coal tit, Long-tailed tit, Blue tit, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Starling, and depending on the type of feeder you use Robin as well. For Robins, the main requirement is a feeder they can easily stand on rather than hang from – which they find very difficult to do. Placing some Super Suet Fat Balls on a bird table or ground feeder will also allow Blackbirds to feed on them.

Besides the high quantity of suet, Vine House Farm’s suet balls do not have the potentially harmful plastic netting usually found on fat balls, which eliminates the possibility of birds getting entangled in the netting.

Robins do eat fat balls, but they need a fat ball feeder that they can stand on, or fat balls placed on a bird table or ground feeding tray or fat balls placed on a bird table or ground feeding tray.

Fat balls should be eaten quickly, provided they are of high quality. If the suet fat balls aren’t eaten quickly, then look for signs of deterioration such as discolouration and mould – these are signs that they should be replaced.

Additionally, the time of year and weather will also have a bearing, with fat balls put out in the winter months having a longer shelf life – albeit they’re also likely to be eaten more quickly during colder weather.

There are two basic ways to feed Super Suet Fat Balls to birds: The first is in a special hanging feeder, with this allowing species such as Blue tit and Long-tailed tit to feed on them. The second method is to place the suet balls loose on a bird table or ground feeder tray, with this allowing for species such as Blackbird and Robin to feed on them.

Grey Squirrels will indeed eat fat balls, which can be a problem in some gardens. To prevent this from happening, we also sell caged suet ball feeders which will allow small birds in to get to the fat balls but keep squirrels out. Red squirrels do not normally eat fat balls.
