Why chilli powder?
Chilli products, particularly those containing capsaicin, can act as a deterrent for squirrels due to their sensitivity to the compound. Capsaicin is the chemical responsible for the spiciness or heat in chilli peppers. When squirrels encounter capsaicin, it irritates their taste buds and mucous membranes. This irritation causes temporary discomfort that they associate with the food source. As a result, squirrels are more likely to avoid anything spicy or chilli-infused. It is a humane, harmless deterrent that has no long-term effects on squirrels.
Is it safe for birds?
Absolutely! Birds lack the receptors that make capsaicin hot for mammals. This means that birds can consume chilli products without experiencing any discomfort.
What birds eat Chilli Suet Logs?
Our Chilli Suet Logs have become a favoured feed among popular garden bird species such as Robins, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Great-spotted Woodpeckers, House Sparrows, Goldcrests, Blackbirds, Wrens, Nuthatches, Thrushes, and many more!
What bird feeder should you use with Chilli Suet Logs?
You can feed your suet logs to garden birds with any suet feeder that has large mesh holes (like a suet ball feeder). We also offer a bespoke suet log feeder specially designed to hold 6 of our suet logs. Or you can simply place your suet logs on a bird table or ground feeder.
