What is Musca domestica?

Skipio's™ Packaged Wild Bird Food
Oregon Suet Block^TM , Tillamook PeanutBugger Block^TM , and Cascade Summer Suet Block^TM are insect based for feeding insectivorous wild birds. The insects, Musca domestica, the Common Housefly, are grown and processed at our Tillamook, Oregon insectary. Fresh beef kidney suet is rendered and naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols at our plant. These materials are blended with other high quality ingredients. The suet blocks are cast and cut to portion. Advanced packaging for the product line was instituted Fall 1998.

Oregon Suet Block^TM is the original wild bird food to use insects to provide a nutritional element. OSB^TM was compounded upon observation that most suet eating birds are insect eaters. We use only beef kidney suet that we process on site because it has greater density, hardness and more calories per gram than the commonly used tallows. Fully two percent of OSB^TM is dehydrated insect. This is by far the highest ratio of insect material to other ingredient to be found in any insect augmented commercial bird food for either wild birds or caged birds. Whole and ground larvae, pupae and adult flies are used in our wild bird foods because the different stages of the insect provide differing nutritional benefits. (Details available elsewhere on this site.) Reports from numerous Oregon Suet Block^TM users state that when compared with other suet brands OSB^TM receives an equal number of pecks by visiting birds and lasts three to four times as long as the other products. This is important information because OSB^TM often costs twice the other brands but is, in the long run, more economical as well as nutritionally superior. When Oregon Suet Block^TM was introduced it was endorsed by John Farrand, Jr., editor of the National Audubon Society's Master's Guide to Birding as " the best new wild bird food on the market in twenty five years". Oregon Suet Block^TM appeals to woodpeckers, flickers, nuthatches, chickadees and many other birds. It is reported that it does not attract starlings and is of no interest to squirrels. OSB^TM is suitable for year around use although in summer place the hanger deep in shady foliage or in the shade on the north side of the house.

Tillamook PeanutBugger Block^TM is made with the same attention to detail and high quality ingredients as OSB^TM with the addition of peanut products, dried whey and calcium. This fine product draws peanut-loving chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers, wrens, titmice and cardinals and other birds. Our calcium source is ground oyster shell. Dried cheese whey, a milk sugar, provides a source of quick-burning energy to complement the longer burning suet.

Cascade Summer Suet Block^TM was added to our line to provide a melt-resistant suet block capable of surviving the very hot summer days. It is a product suitalbe for year around use. CSSB^TM is made with the same attention to detail and high quality ingredients as Oregon Suet Block^TM with the addition of ground millet. The so called "suet doughs" made by our competitors are made with corn meal. Ground millet is high in lecithin which is a natural emulsifier and creates a product which has greater stablity at higher summer temperatures. Cascade Summer Suet Block^TM will attract many birds and be of particular benefit to bluebirds in summer and woodpeckers in winter.

Use: Unwrap and offer outdoors in a appropriate feeder. 10 oz. CSSB^TM fits standard suet cages.
