Raw suet grows rancid quickly when temperatures are above freezing; don’t offer that except in winter.

When suet gets soft, it can coat belly feathers, a dangerous situation especially in spring and summer when birds are incubating—tiny pores on the birds’ eggs may get clogged, preventing the developing embryo from getting enough oxygen.
