So educate this SoCal/Idahoan, what is suet on a hook used for?Whoops! The bears got my suet last night and they twisted the steel shepherds hook I hung it on. My bad...I should have waited a while till late December to put it out. Win for the bears this time

The suet is a square block of a type of fat mixed with seeds and nuts and sometimes berries and corn. They make little metal cages to put the block of suet in and you either hang it in a tree or on a tall metal hook planted in the ground. Many birds love this. Here we get a lot of woodpeckers and blue Jays and Cardinals that gather to feed usually talking turns. When the snow falls and their food sources are scarce, this helps them survive the winter. They're lovely to watch too. Right now the bears are gorging on anything they can find preparing to hibernate. They love bird feeders and suet blocks. I usually wait another few weeks till they're in their dens to hang mine up. I guess I started too early and the bears are very good at knocking the suet"cages" and the tall hooks down and eating the goodies. Squirrels try their best to get to the feeders also.So educate this SoCal/Idahoan, what is suet on a hook used for?
