For use with a suet cage comprising one or more ferromagnetic sidewalls at a lower end of the cage, a tail rest configured to detachably connect to the one or more ferromagnetic sidewalls at the lower end of the cage, the tail rest comprising:
- a generally planar vertical body shaped to support a bird's tail;
- a magnetic coupling surface at an upper end of the vertical body, the magnetic coupling surface comprising a magnetic coupling surface having a width generally corresponding to the width of the ferromagnetic sidewalls and configured to mate with the lower end of the suet cage with a magnetically clamping connection thereto.
A method for providing suet for feeding birds comprising:
- providing a suet cage comprising wire grid comprising a substantially flat top face, a substantially flat bottom face, a substantially continuous sidewall extending around edges of the top and bottom faces to space the top face from the bottom face and to define an interior suet volume accessible by a bird with its beak through spaces in the wire grid, and a generally vertical tubular handle structure on the top face extending above the top face;
- providing a suet molding pan configured to hold said suet cage submerged except for said handle below the level of molten suet poured into said molding pan;
- submerging said suet cage, except for said handle, in molten suet;
- allowing said suet to cool and solidify;
- using said handle to lift said cage and solidified suet out of said molding pan;
- and placing said suet filled cage in a convenient location for birds.
