Doesn’t the suet block attract starlings?

For Sharon, my direct email response to your question wouldn’t go through. But, answering, I only feed black-oil sunflower seeds, Nyjer seed & a berry suet block. I stopped all “mixed” bird seeds years ago, as any of the mixes I tried all attracted House Sparrows. Didn’t matter what the mix combination was, House Sparrows would arrive.

Since going to “straight” seeds as noted, I get maybe 5 or 6 House Sparrows a year now. Believe the last one I saw at the feeder was a lone male for about a half day, last month. Last year I started a hummingbird feeder again &, now, a bright orange plastic Oriole feeder with 2 pegs for orange halves & 2 cups for jam. The Orioles love it! I have stopped the suet & always do when the weather warms up, as it can get rancid quickly. Hope this helps.
