Should I Stop Putting Out Suet?

The quick answer is that you shouldn't stop feeding suet.  Years ago suet wasn't much more then a clump of beet fat that would get all drippy if you put it out on a warm day.  Fortunately, that is no longer true.  Modern processes produce a suet cake that can be used on all but the hottest days.

Additionally, many people only feed suet in the cold months because they believe that is when the birds need the protein.  Birds do need the calories in winter but they also need them during migrations, nest building and raising their young.  In short, suet is a great, and convenient, feeding option all year long.
