Several weeks ago I bought a suet block. This block was approximately 5” x 5” 1.5”. It was in a plastic type “house” with small windows so the birds could hold on and peck at the suet. This “house” had a clip at the top to keep it closed. It was hinged at the bottom. It was tied with string through the top with a small key ring though it so it could be hung on a branch.

I went to feed the birds this morning and the suet block was gone

The “house” wasn’t damaged. The string hadn’t been cut and re-tied. The hinge at the bottom wasn’t broken or damaged in any way



So I am nonplussed at to what has happened to the suet block..........

Hi Bazzy ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ° it was only by chance that I saw Cyril 2 😂😂Re the suet block, it was virtually full size. There is no way it could have gone overnight tbh 🙂

Like you, I have some good nights and some bad ones but fankoo ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°

Oh I see ....I thought it had gone over a few weeks ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢðŸĪĢðŸĪĢCould the Cyrils have got into it somehow ? Maybe the lid snapped shut after they had got in there ? ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢðŸĪĢðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°

ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ Not a chance as both part of the lid clasps are tied together with the string. There is no way I can see how it has all gone overnight. I am at a loss to explain it Bazzy ðŸ˜ģ😂😂😂ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°

That one of mine has two plastic protrusions that clip into two holes. I tried pulling it apart but with the string as it is I couldn’t even pop it apart let alone get in to remove the suet ðŸ˜ģðŸ˜ģðŸ˜ģ😂😂😂ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°ðŸĨ°

Baz

Afternoon Darnies Rained most of the day here , and apparently worse to come  tomorrow , but I didn’t have a bad nights sleep so I’ve been quite busy today . I’ve caught up with the washing , towels all done , changed the bed and ironed , emptied bins and fed the birds....and had lamb chops for lunch . I hope everyone else is having a good day too .

Baz

Afternoon Darnies Nice weather for ducks in my area....and it’s not looking much better for the weekend I slept quite well last night , but can’t say I’ve done a lot today Just a load of washing and ironing ....paid a bill.....and had a nice piece of steak for my lunch . I’m just waiting for a break in the rain so I can feed the birds!  I hope you are all having a good day and managing to stay dry .
