Question by Edward: Here in Michigan I put suet cakes out for birds; Can they hurt/crack their beaks on frozen suet cake ?

Best answer:

Answer by Pamela
Suet is nothing but rendered fat.
Like the layer of greasy looking stuff on top of gravy after it has been refrigerated.
It is combined with seeds, peanut butter and other things and formed into shapes and hung in trees for birds in winter.
No it won’t break their beaks because it does not get hard enough.

Answer by XxJ3ssxX

and this is the bird (house wren) that laid them

and btw the eggs are not likely to be abandoned .. just leave alone. .
It is very rare to catch a glimpse of a wren so she’ll be there.. just leave well alone and let nature take its course.
