For some reason, feeding birds on fat seems bizarre to me. I recognised the word ‘suet’ in a kind of vague way with associations to sago and/or tapioca. I guess I’d heard the word before, and in the context of the song I thought of something meaty and sagoey, but I wasn’t sure exactly what it was until I looked it up. Rendered suet does rather resemble tapioca pudding.
