Soft, Spreadable High-Energy Treat for Maximum Bird Appeal
Attract wild birds with the unique appeal of C&S Seed & Suet Dough! This innovative 11 oz soft dough combines high-energy rendered beef fat with premium seeds in a spreadable consistency that birds love. Unlike traditional hard suet cakes, this pliable dough is easier for birds to eat, making it perfect for smaller species, young birds, and cold weather feeding when birds need quick, accessible energy. The seed-packed formula appeals to both suet-lovers and seed-eaters.
Soft Texture, Maximum Appeal:
C&S Seed & Suet Dough offers a unique advantage—its soft, pliable texture makes it easier for birds to consume than traditional hard suet cakes. This is especially beneficial during winter when frozen hard suet can be difficult for smaller birds to eat, and for young or less aggressive birds that may struggle at busy feeders. The spreadable consistency also allows for versatile feeding options beyond standard suet cages.

Why Soft Dough Works Better:
The soft, pliable texture offers several advantages over traditional hard suet. In freezing temperatures, this dough remains softer and more accessible, allowing birds to get quick energy when they need it most. Smaller species like chickadees and wrens can more easily take bites, while the spreadable consistency opens up creative feeding options that hard suet can't accommodate.
Versatile Feeding Options:
Unlike traditional suet cakes limited to cage feeders, Seed & Suet Dough can be used in multiple ways:
- Standard suet cage feeders
- Spread into holes drilled in logs
- Packed into pinecones
- Smeared on tree bark
- Pressed into specialized dough feeders
- Molded into custom shapes
Seasonal Benefits:
Winter: Soft texture remains accessible in freezing temperatures, provides critical high-energy food when natural sources scarce, easier for birds to consume in extreme cold
Spring: Supports breeding birds and nest building, easy for parents to feed growing chicks, high energy for migration
Summer: No-melt formula maintains consistency in heat, supplements natural food abundance, easy for young fledglings
Fall: Fuels migration with accessible energy, helps birds build fat reserves, soft texture speeds feeding for time-pressed migrants
How to Use:
- Remove dough from wrapper or container
- Place entire portion in suet cage feeder, OR
- Spread into feeder logs, pinecones, or bark crevices
- Hang 5-6 feet off ground near trees or shrubs
- Replace when significantly consumed (typically 3-7 days to 2-3 weeks)
Creative Feeding Ideas:
Feeder Logs: Drill 1-2 inch holes in natural logs and pack with dough for rustic feeding stations
Pinecone Treats: Press dough into large pinecone scales for attractive, natural-looking feeders
Bark Smears: Spread thin layer on rough tree bark for realistic foraging experience
Custom Molds: Shape dough around branches or into decorative forms
Winter Feeding Excellence:
During cold weather, Seed & Suet Dough truly shines. While traditional suet cakes freeze rock-hard, this dough maintains a softer consistency that birds can more easily peck and consume. This means faster feeding, less energy spent obtaining food, and better survival rates during harsh weather.

- Traditional hard suet cakes for variety
