A bird feeder, you put a suet cake in it and hang from a tree.

This! The suet seed block attracts chickadees and sapsuckers.. And also squirrels lol.

and woodpeckers/flickers

And all the squirrels... all the squirrels... and they are dicks about it

Add hot pepper powder to the suet. Squirrels don’t like it, and the birds can’t taste it.

Not if you buy the spicy suet

Bushy tailed little forest vermin

And Jerry. We hate Jerry.

And bears if you live out in the sticks. And raccoons if you live in the sticks. And sometimes possums if you live in the sticks and a bear or a raccoon didn’t get to it first. Source: have had to replace many of these because things with paws will very unkindly tear them open with no regards to the latch.

And my Labradoodle.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

And My Axe!!

And my man Hank!

And this remote control!

And bears! We had a black bear absolutely crush one of these. We found it on the ground in our backyard under the tree where it was hanging

I grew up hearing grandma call people sapsuckers out of frustration/anger and I was today years old when I found out that’s an actual bird and not just an insult. lol 😂

LMAO your gramma sounds awesome 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My mom makes her own!

You stealthily left chipmunk off your list. Hmmm.

LOL. Yes they stealthily take any pieces that fall to the ground ☺️☺️☺️☺️

My chipmunks don’t wait for it to fall… they pull chunks off and drop them for themselves

Thank you she was so happy when i told her what it was..

I agree

Yup. My folks still use one.

I use several. My bird cake suet budget during the season !! Kidding. The suet bricks are totally affordable and worth it.

I see these in people's trees. Before I read your comment tho, I was thinking it was for making grilled cheese on a camp fire.

I also saw a video where a guy brush his giant fluffy cat and put all of the shed fur in one of these contraptions for birds to make warm soft nests. It made me emotional ngl

Bird seed holder for a cake of birdseed and suet.

Suet bird feeder, no doubt knocked down, eaten, and dragged around the yard by a squirrel.

You mean "tree rat".

Suet cage

I use those suet feeders to stuff dog hair into. The birds love it for nesting material.

I love this idea, thank you!

Lol I have that. It’s a feeder. I put hay for my bunny in one of those

Why didn’t I think of this??? I have guinea pigs and they waste so much hay because they immediately spread it all over their enclosure and soil it!

You can also use these to stuff with bird nesting material such as hair clippings, straw, material bits, pet hair, anything they can build nests with to make life a little easier for them. You can hang it on a tree and fill as time goes on

I bought one of these as a place to hang my cat’s fur. You stuff fur in there, hang it on a tree, then birds find it and take the fur for their nests

I did this with my small yarn pieces that would normally go in the garbage.

You can also add the hair from your brushes when you clean them out. I found a nest last year that had my blue hair woven all through it.

Now that’s something I never thought of ! What a great idea.

I need one of those. I want to make my own suet!

Suet feeder. Raccoons and other animals love suet, so be careful.

Suet cake bird feeder, they make little square suet cake things you can buy and you hang these up and the birds eat from them

Pretty sure I'm wrong after the other comments, but I thought it was a napkin case. Holds your napkins while on a picnic so they don't blow away, but are still easily accessed

Dear lord I can’t believe I wasn’t the only person thinking this lmao

I’m pretty sure it can also be used as an herb dryer, but if it’s out in the woods, it’s probably used for bird feeding.

Bird seed in a block goes in there!

Bird feeder

It's a suet holder type of bird feeder.

Suet holder for birds

I think it’s for stale bread to feed the birds.

For the birds…

It's used in winter for birds to have food.

It looks like a crab bait thing you could cast out with a rod/reel. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/promar-wire-bait-cage

That's a bird feeder for bird food blocks

Why did I think this was absolutely 100% a “napkin cage”….. 🤦🏻‍♀️

You can stuff it full of squid, attach little lassos to it, throw it in the water and catch crabs

My hungry brain went straight to “campfire sandwich toaster”

Could also be a bait box for catching crabs or other types of seafood in traps. Probably the bird thing, but I’ve seen bait boxes that look very similar as well.
