NeatureFeast 2500486 NF Fruit and Berry 150 Energy Balls Box - Red

I tried berry flavoured suet pellets once but the birds made a terrible mess and coated the areas below the feeders with a slippery slick of pink suet, which was annoying. Bought these instead and I'm very impressed. When you buy suet balls, you usually end up getting a mismatched box or bucket of 50 all smashed up or crumbling, destined to dry out before the birds get even halfway through them, usually to be thrown away at a later date. Not so here - they came in a nice box, all neatly individually wrapped in plastic packets of six, to easily keep them fresh and long lasting. Fantastic! They smell divine, too! I was surprised. Normally suet balls smell like something akin to vomit, but these things smell like cosmetic products or some kind of berry pudding. The birds definitely appreciate them, once they noticed them they don't stop coming throughout the day - even so, with constant balls of starlings, sparrows, tits and chaffinches taking turns to attack them, they're not going down too quickly - I've only used about twelve fatballs in the last two weeks. Good quality, and definitely a cut above the basic boring ones. The fact they come in small packs is really the best part, no bucket of suet "shapes" and dust, just a neat box of freshly packaged berry fat balls. Thank you! These will probably be my go-to fatballs from now on!

The birds seem to really love these fat balls and I’ve never had a bad batch. Others complaining of them being hard have maybe just been unlucky as I’ve always been impressed with the texture of them. The only problem I’ve ever had was when I bought two boxes at once and they did crumble (more due to the way they were packaged one on top of another) but I just sprinkled the crumbled ones under the bushes for the ground feeding birds and it was gone the next day (good tip for anyone with crumbles maybe!). The only problem is now my garden birds won’t eat cheap / basic fat balls and will only eat these ones!!!

I will start by saying, the amazon review page asks you to rate the flavour. I have no intention of eating these to find out what they taste like and it is an odd question to ask of a review for animal food - especially when the box clearly states not suitable for human consumption. The Natures Feast suet fat balls come in a large heavy box containing 150 balls wrapped in bundles of 6 (1 star knocked off the packaging for the plastic wrap inside). They are pinkish in colour and around 4cm diameter (same size as a standard fat ball). There are loads of seeds/grains and fruit in them too, which the birds around here love. When I put them out with some other fat balls, these will be gone in a short period of time before the birds move on to the others (wild animals can be so picky sometimes). I have also found that the birds seem to drop less of the fat from these, so they must be liking that more too, as well as the seeds inside. I will be buying these again when the birds are near the end of them as they have helped me get more birds with wider varieties into the garden. The added bonus for me is they are also cheaper than the previous ones I purchased before, although I will still be getting some of those as the birds need variety like humans do.

Fatballs are very good, birds got stuck into them immediately. Angry at packaging as fell to bits on the doorstep and left to pick up all the balls !! To be fair must have been placed on a damp place but should not have been delivered this way. Product is good.

The birds really love them, they are always popular at our feeding station. The balls come wrapped in threes so you don't have to worry about keep a multi-year supply of fat balls fresh. I would definitely buy again, but as I accidently bought 2 last time I won't need to for a while! I didn't even consider returning the second box so that should tell you that I'm happy I bought 300 fat balls which is a far cry from the man that once bought 3 at a time in the local shop.

This is my second box of these and the birds love them, entertaining with acrobatic displays to get to them. They are excellent value and seem to attract a lot of different birds . They do stay whole whilst others I have purchased simply crumbled. They are in packs of six inside the large box. Of course, buying in bulk can present storage issues. I am fortunate enough to have space to keep all my wild bird food in a couple of dustbins, which keeps out pesky bushy tailed rodents and means that I don't need to store supplies indoors.

Excellent quality, have ordered these many times now, the birds a multitude of different birds love them. I crush them up and add to the bird seed, there is never any waste, Because of the cold weather I don"t leave them whole as they go hard and the birds cannot eat them.

Thought that getting a large amount of fat balls for my feeding station was a really good idea, and when i opened the pack they looked splendid....that was until i carefully opened the packets inside and realised that they all had issues where the two halves are joined together and that they were just crumbling apart before even getting them into the holders. This means I am loosing about two balls in each pack of six - NOT good value as can not leave the crumbled ones on the grass because of rats, etc.
