Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast Seed Cakes
Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast is a hot-pepper seed cake of sunflower hearts, peanuts, golden safflower and mealworms that birds eat freely while squirrels and raccoons steer clear. Birds don't sense pepper heat the way mammals do, so you can feed the birds without feeding the critters.
Key Features
- Squirrel resistant: hot pepper keeps squirrels and raccoons away while birds keep feeding.
- Rich ingredients: sunflower hearts, peanuts, golden safflower and mealworms.
- Broad appeal: attracts woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, wrens, bluebirds and more.
- No mess, no melting: a solid cake that won't melt, for year-round feeding.
- Five sizes: small cake, bell, large cake, small cylinder and large cylinder.
- Made in the USA: by Mr. Bird.

Feeding & Handling Tips
- Handle with gloves or wash your hands right after, and don't touch your eyes.

- Store unopened cakes in a cool, dry place.
- Large cylinders last longest; small cakes and the bell are an easy way to try it.
FAQ
Does the hot pepper hurt birds?
No. Birds don't sense the heat from hot pepper the way mammals do, so they keep eating while squirrels and raccoons avoid it.
Will it stop squirrels completely?
It strongly discourages them. Most squirrels learn to leave it alone after a taste.
What feeder do I need?
Cakes fit a standard suet basket; cylinders need a cylinder feeder; the bell hangs on its own.
Is it safe to handle?
Use gloves or wash your hands right after handling, and keep it away from eyes and children.
Tip: Prefer loose seed with squirrel protection? Pair Golden Safflower with a Squirrel Buster feeder.
