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.

Much was wasted since the filler was thrown on the ground and not eaten, which is not normal when I use my normal brand of bird seed. Since we were having a weeks of snow storms and I could jot get my regular brand I finally tried the Pennington brand but will not purchase it ever again due to the birds not eating the filler. Usually they eat every single seed and never waste it but they do not like the Pennington brand.

We thought spending $5 less a bag and getting more would be a great deal. We put the seed in the feeder and boom...our birds disappeared. Was it the cherry flavor? (why would birds like cherry flavoring?) Who knows. I was so disappointed in this. I am returning all the bags I bought and spending the extra money for the purple bag bird seed. The squirrels won't even eat it. Terrible product. Don't waste your money.

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.

This used to be our go to birdseed. Was quality seed with cherry flavoring added that all the birds seemed to like. It's been out of stock for awhile at our local Sam's club so I was excited to see it back in stock. Although I noticed the price had increased by $6 a bag! I placed a curbside order for 2 bags & once home when I was pouring it into our seed container I was so very disappointed to see all the dust! It's just like a cheap filler seed you'd expect to pay $10 a bag for at other retailers, it's full of small sticks and stalks, there's absolutely no cherry scent whatsoever, it's just dry and dusty! What a huge disappointment. Had I known this I would not have purchased almost $50 worth!

I have already gone through 150 pounds and winter has just started. I was buying a similar mixture from another store. It was a 40 pound bag for two dollars more, so this is a good deal. I feed 3 32 ounce soda cups a day. It attracts a lot of birds. They wait in my neighbors hedge, the over head power lines and the trees in my back yard. It takes less than 60 seconds for the birds to come down, once I have left the feeding sites. Even the squirrels get in on the action.

Way too much millet.

So worth the price and the size!!! Terrific buy!!!

Contained a lot of trash and some small seed our birds do not eat.

Birds love it! Great price!
