5.0 out of 5 stars A Easier Smarter Investment, November 5, 2009

Anyone that is an avid bird feeding enthusiast knows well that suet is a worthwhile investment in your trade. Both in the extra pleasure it will bring you, and in the nutritional needs it offers your birds. Processed suet is nothing more than rendered fat mixed in with a variety of things birds have a hankerin' for, like seed, berries, peanuts, and even insects. Birds not only love it for its rich flavor, but it is also very good for them, and in winter an essential. Suet helps birds build a layer of fat on their bodies that helps them keep warm during winters siege. And, suets high protein content also helps keep their feathers thick and strong for shielding the cold wind. Unlike seed, which some birds have a preference for certain kinds, all birds seem to enjoy suet. It is a universal value for both you, and your feathered flock.

Despite suets many advantages, anyone that is familiar with it also knows that it is much less a joy to handle than it is to witness its effect. It becomes greasy on skin contact, making it hard to handle. (Not to mention, just plain yucky). And if you own several suet cages, more than likely at least one cake will slip out of your grip and fall on the ground during your rounds. Thus picking up any dirt and riff raff that it happens to come into contact with. Lastly, regular suet easily melts in warm temperatures, making it that much more susceptible to your dropping it and creating a mess. Suet dough is a very sensible, and in my opinion, better all 'round alternative to regular suet.

Suet dough is rendered with the same fat that the regular is, but it also has an additional amount of corn meal, or bran that gives it a feel and appearance similar to hard packed carrot cake, for example. It is not greasy, and it never melts no matter how hot it gets. Suet dough can be found plain, or with peanuts added, such as this brand. Even if you are used to seeing birds go after regular suet on a cold winter day, you will marvel at how they love this stuff. All birds love suet dough, even ones that you never seem to see around regular suet. The other reviewer here that mentioned woodpeckers in particular is correct. I occasionally see a woodpecker or two around regular suet or seed, but nothing like when suet dough is being offered. They then become regular and familiar customers. Nothing is ever wasted with suet dough, and it leaves no greasy residue around the cage. It is in my opinion a easier, smarter investment.

Suet dough may be a little more expensive, but the resulting consumption, ease of use, and lack of waste, together with the birds going crazy over it, is well worth the extra money. The only down side to suet dough is the fact that it is loved by all living things it seems. Squirrels will dig it out any way they can, and raccoons are particularly drawn to it. If you live in a place that is inundated with squirrels, and all manner of night time marauders, I suggest you forget the hanging cage that you see in yards everywhere. Using the cage is all right, but secure it to a tree or post, and clasp the cage closed somehow with a strong alligator clip or similar implement. Any cage a raccoon can get at, he will manage to get open or tear down unless you make it real difficult for him.

I recommend suet dough for anyone that feeds birds year 'round, especially if you live in the south, or any other warm climate. It's a joy to handle compared to regular suet, and you will love the results. Buy a dozen or more cakes at once to make the shipping worth it. Trust me, once your birds discover it, you will need it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Birds really like this suet, July 3, 2008

I've tried several types of suet, and the birds really seem to love this flavor the best. It's attracted flickers, red headed woodpeckers, and a few other kinds of woodpeckers. And yes, starlings like it also, but they're fun to watch when they bring their children.

Look no further if you want an exceptional, high quality suet. Everyone loves it, birds, squirrels, especially woodpeckers, even my possums and raccoons love it. It costs a little more, but will really bring in the neatest flying beasties to your yard. It isn't greasy, so handling it is easy. Year around, really, one of my favorites!
