Winter Bird Feeding Tips and Suet for Fiery-Necked Nightjars

A rare Southern African night-time visitor, the Fiery-necked Nightjar is more often heard than seen… but with a little patience (and some help from The Pet Grocer), you might just spot one!

Look for them after sunset near open ground, low branches, or quiet forest edges.

What to Watch For:

• Long tail with white tips

• White throat patch

• Low, swooping flight at dusk

• Unusual perching style - parallel to branches!

TIP: Keep your backyard active and bird-friendly with Westerman’s Suet Boost and Suet Balls - packed with high-fat nutrients perfect for winter!

Suet helps attract insect-eaters like barbets, thrushes, and starlings while giving them the energy they need to thrive.

Available now at The Pet Grocer, your trusted spot for feeding wild birds the right way!
