Great bird feed

The birds are loving it!

In my Sam's I noticed that the option of 'mixed bird seed' increased in price - and this was added as a selection. What a strategy. Pennington's sunflower seed is no longer available, but apparently replaced by this -- which is a low percentage of sunflower seeds with the high percentage what I'd refer to as filler seed. Birds toss it from the feeder as waste.

I would wish to express my disappointment with Pennington Wild Bird Food With Cherry Flavor (50 lbs.) Item #: 501588 | Model #: 100524909 purchased at Sam's Club Altoona PA. Awhile back, I switched to this product and have lost nearly all of the visitors to my feeders. I can't explain it, maybe I have finicky eaters. I now have no choice but to switch back to my previous feed with hopes of regaining the population I once had.

We usually feed sunflower seeds to the birds around our house. Against my wife’s advice, I thought I’d give this stuff a try. One birdfeeder with sunflower seeds and one with this stuff. Sunflower seeds won out by a landslide. I wrote Pennington and they said “Sorry”. The only readon I’d buy this stuff is if you want a product that will last a long, long time, like kale on an all-you-can eat seafood buffet.

I’m actually laughing because I was just sitting with my father in law telling him I bought 50 pounds of this bird seed and I thought the birds knew I went cheap on them! They’ve snubbed me. So, you know what I’m doing? Filling the bird feeder anyway because a RACCOON comes every night and empties it for me! What else am I going to do with it? We have fun watching him come out at night to have dinner. I’ve got to get rid of this stuff. DO NOT BUY THIS BIRD SEED. Your birds will be angry with you!

I usually purchase the Members Mark bird seed, which they love. It was out, so I bought this one. Birds do seem to eat it BUT now I have 2 huge patches of grass growing under my bird feeders because they are over rock. I’ve never had this happen so I knew something was up with this seed. I thought maybe it was a fluke but I also purchased the seed for my MIL, who just told me that she has a huge patch of grass now growing in her rock as well. I usually don’t write reviews, but felt the need to share. I’m sticking with the members mark one.

Birds won't eat it.

Even grackles and doves turn their breaks up at this mix , my normally crowded feeders are devoid of birds . I remember having to throw this bird repellent away the last time I made the mistake of buying it and I won’t make that mistake a third time .

The first time I bought this seed, I didn't notice anything wrong with it, but this is the second bag I've bought and it was full of sand burs. I don't mind a few sticks or anything like that, but the sand burs are a problem. I don't want the birds scattering those in my yard because I'm afraid sand burs will start growing in my yard. So I've picked through the seed before putting it in my feeders to pick all the sand burs out first. The pictures are all the sand burs I've pulled out so far and I've only picked through half on the bag so far.
