 Poor Quality Dough...Avoid Jun 22, 2011
By Ambergris
"John Thomas"
Suet dough is something I have fed the birds here regularly for years now. I can't speak for birds in other parts of the country, but here in New England they far and favor the dough over regular suet by a wide margin. In fact during the winter months I can hardly keep the suet hangers filled with them. Besides being favored heavily by most birds, suet dough also carries the advantage of never melting, or even feeling greasy like regular suet. Making it a far better to handle, especially during the warm summer months. Despite its advantages, suet dough is not anywhere as easy to find as regular suet, so I took a chance on buying this apple blend, which at the time was being offered at a pretty fair price on Amazon for a case of 12. As much as the birds still seem to favor this dough over regular suet, I still have to say it is a very poor quality dough. Most suet dough is pretty solid stuff, rarely crumbling or coming apart at the touch. This stuff is very flaky and of a poor consistency right out of the package, and thus you lose a lot to pieces of it falling out of the hanger, or cage. Truly I don't think it tastes as good as other dough to the birds either. Although they do indeed finish this stuff up quicker than regular suet, it still lasts longer along side a better quality dough. In conclusion, although suet dough is a little harder to find, and this is a pretty good deal here on Amazon, I still can't recommend it. Definitely a poor quality all around. I suggest trying a little harder to find it locally, or move up to a better quality dough online...
Update: Since the writing of this review the summer heat has arrived. Unfortunately this doughs inferior quality has definitely shown itself to be what it truly is, terrible. It has turned extremely slimy, falling apart at the slightest touch, and it only seems to appeal to mostly squirrels at this time. Suet dough is NOT supposed to ever be affected by the heat. (That's what makes it suet dough). I now don't recommend this dough at any price. I am going to put all mine out for the squirrels this summer and be done with it. Avoid...
 Excellent Suet Choice Aug 29, 2011

Birds really like this -- almost as much as they like the peanut suet -- which is a LOT!! Because it's the "dough" variety of suet, it's much less messy and it's usable in the warmer months.
