Suet Suet!

Dec 20, 2016 When I was a tot living on a ranch we would call SOOEY SOOEY to get the hogs to come when we "slopped" (fed) them. These days, I live in a trailer park and have transitioned to feeding birds. It's a much neater proposition and fun to watch, no calling SOOEY required. As winter came barreling in, I hung a cage of suet out for the birds. At first, those mischievous squirrels would battle with the jays over the suet, making it disappear in an afternoon. I changed the location a couple of times to discourage this squirrel activity. But then, it seemed there was no activity at all. I placed the suet so that I could see it from inside the house. I watched off and on during the day. Nothing. But yesterday the birds showed up! They were all small birds and too far away for much more of a description from me, but I was delighted! At one point three or four birds were helping themselves as a frustrated squirrel watched from a higher position on the fence. Mission accomplished! And no calling SUET SUET necessary! I wonder if squirrels are related to pigs....
