A suet feeder 10 which comprises an inner frame 12, a tray sized to receive a suet pack 76, the tray being slidably mounted on the frame 12, a suet support member which is mounted on the frame 12, and a shroud, which may be wire mesh, extending over the frame 12 and tray. The shroud has a feed opening with a relatively closed area 94 of the shroud located above the opening, such that a bird may only access a lower portion the suet. The device is designed so the suet does not require handling and the sliding arrangement ensures all of the suet can be reached and consumed by the birds. The device may be spring biased so if a squirrel or heavy bird climbs on the shroud, the shroud lowers and the relatively closed portion 94 blocks the suet. There may be two suet trays, one either side of the frame. There may be a nut to adjust the tension in the spring mechanism.
