Use of the Dayton-Morrill model to estimate palatability of certain bird foods in pairwise presentations produces results inconsistent with feeding trial data. The model relies solely on pairwise consumption totals as the response variable. A model developed using differences in consumption of pairwise offerings provided results much more consistent with feeding trial data. Further, the model based on differences in consumption is comparable to intrablock treatment comparisons in a balanced incomplete block design and an appropriate analysis of pairwise feeding trial data may be obtained by using a split-plot, balanced incomplete block design model.
