My dad's homemade suet cakes drew in woodpeckers like crazy. My store-bought blocks don't compare. Any recipes to share?

Totally! Homemade stuff just hits different, whether it's suet or my grandma's jam.

Wow, homemade suet really is the best for bringing in woodpeckers! Store-bought blocks often have fillers and less fat, so they don't give the same energy boost. My uncle used to make his with beef fat, peanut butter, and birdseed, and the birds loved it. Do you remember if your dad put in special things like dried fruit or crushed nuts? That might be why his mix worked so well. Are you trying to get downy woodpeckers or the bigger ones like pileated?
