I'm not sure if it is taste or smell, but hot pepper does not seem to bother
birds at all. My favorite recipe for "suet cakes" for birds was posted by a
bird bander, so I figure she knows! (not posted here, I mean, but on a
birdwatching mailing list)

OTOH, putting hot pepper in the mixture does not seem to bother the
squirrels, either........

What does the pepper do to the birds?
