Concentrated Energy for Critical Times:
C&S High Energy Suet goes beyond standard formulas to deliver exceptional caloric density. When birds face extreme weather, long migrations, or the demands of raising young, they need more than basic nutrition—they need concentrated fuel. This specialized formula provides maximum calories per bite, allowing birds to quickly replenish energy reserves and meet the intense demands of survival and reproduction.

Perfect For:
- Extreme cold weather feeding when energy demands peak
- Supporting spring and fall migration
- Breeding season when adults work hard to feed young
- Winter survival supplementation
- Post-storm emergency feeding
- Year-round high-performance nutrition
- Areas with harsh climates requiring maximum support
Why High Energy Matters:
Birds have exceptionally high metabolic rates and can lose significant body weight overnight, especially in cold weather. A chickadee, for example, may burn 10% of its body weight just surviving a cold winter night. High Energy Suet provides the caloric density birds need to rebuild reserves quickly and efficiently, potentially making the difference between survival and starvation during extreme conditions.
When Birds Need Maximum Calories:
Winter Extremes: Cold weather dramatically increases caloric needs—birds may need 2-3 times normal intake during severe cold spells
Migration: Long-distance travel requires massive energy reserves—migrants actively seek high-fat foods to fuel their journeys
Breeding Season: Adult birds work tirelessly feeding hungry chicks—high-energy food helps parents maintain condition while raising young
Post-Storm: After severe weather, birds are often depleted and desperate for quick energy replenishment
Seasonal Benefits:
Winter: Critical life-saving nutrition during extreme cold, maximum calories help birds maintain body temperature overnight, reduces energy spent foraging in harsh conditions
Spring: Fuels northbound migration, supports territory establishment and nest building, provides energy for courtship displays and mating
Summer: No-melt formula works in heat, supports multiple breeding cycles, helps parents keep up with feeding demands, sustains molting birds
Fall: Fuels southbound migration with essential fat reserves, helps resident birds prepare for winter, attracts migrating species passing through
How to Use:
- Remove High Energy suet cake from wrapper
- Place in standard suet cage feeder or suet log
- Hang 5-6 feet off ground near trees or shrubs
- Position where birds can access quickly and safely
- Replace when consumed (often faster during peak demand periods)
Emergency Feeding:
Keep High Energy Suet on hand for weather emergencies. After ice storms, blizzards, or extreme cold snaps, birds emerge depleted and desperate for calories. Having this maximum-energy formula available can be life-saving for your local bird population during these critical periods.
Caloric Density Advantage:
The higher fat content in High Energy Suet means birds get more usable energy per peck than standard suet. This efficiency matters—less time spent feeding means more time for other critical activities like staying warm, avoiding predators, and resting. For birds operating on razor-thin energy margins, this efficiency can be crucial.
Migration Support:
During spring and fall migration, your feeding station becomes a vital refueling stop. Migrants actively seek high-fat foods to rebuild energy reserves depleted by long flights. High Energy Suet provides exactly what they need—concentrated calories that quickly replenish fat stores for the next leg of their journey.
Breeding Season Nutrition:
Parent birds working to feed nestlings have enormous energy demands. They may make hundreds of feeding trips daily while also maintaining their own bodies. High Energy Suet helps parents stay healthy and strong throughout the demanding breeding season, supporting successful fledging of young birds.
Complete Winter Station:
For maximum winter support, combine High Energy Suet with:
- Black oil sunflower seeds for diverse species
- Peanuts for extra protein and fat
- Fresh water (heated birdbath)
- Shelter from wind and weather
- Multiple feeders to reduce competition
Storage:
Store unused cakes in a cool, dry place. Keep in original wrapper until ready to use. Can be refrigerated or frozen for extended storage. Use within 12 months for optimal quality and maximum nutritional value.
