Do birds eat fat balls all year round?

Birds can eat fat balls all year round, but we wouldn’t recommend providing them in the warmer months. The fat can go rancid quickly in the heat and cause illness. Birds also don’t need as much fat in their diets over the summer, so you can just stick to putting fat balls out in the winter, autumn, and the start of spring before temperatures rise.

Are fat balls good for birds?

Yes, fat balls are good for birds as part of a varied diet. They can also contain fruit and insects to give them extra nutrition. Our Suet Fat Ball Feeding Guide contains all the advice you might need.

How long do suet balls last?

Fat balls usually come with an expiry date – but generally, once put outside in the winter they will last around a week before they start to go rancid.

Can chickens eat fat balls?

Yes, chickens can eat fat balls. Offer them in moderation during the winter months.

Do fat balls attract rats?

As with any food left outside, fat balls can attract rats. Tidy up feeding areas regularly and keep fat balls in a hard-to-reach spot.
