Needs to be renamed to bird repellent

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 Birds Disappered

I used the purple bag of Member's Mark Supreme Blend all winter long, and all of my backyard birds, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Woodpeckers, Sparrows, Doves, Grackles, Starlings, Finches, Chickadees, etc loved it. I decided to try this Pennington "Wild Bird Feed" and it's night and day. Only the Sparrows eat "some" of it, and they push the majority to the ground uneaten. "Cherry Flavor" is a joke. I should have spent the extra $5 Supreme Blend. Don't buy this blend!

Great seed

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.

Yummy birdseed at a good price.

This is a good birdseed. It has a nice blend and attracts many species of birds, including turkeys. Evidently it tastes very good as it also attracts chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, deer and any other critters living nearby. The price is very reasonable at today’s prices and so I recommend this birdseed.

Why didn’t I read the reviews?

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!

reply from CentralAnswers

We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied, this product has a wide section of grains including Millet and Sunflower, and does an excellent job attracting a variety of birds. It is a much better mix than lower priced Economy Mixes and is our most popular bird feed. As for the Raccoons, they love Sunflower and any mix with Sunflower, will likely attract them, at night, if they are nearby.

Terrible seed! My birds disappeared!

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.

Not so great

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.

What has changed.??

FOR some reason the birds are not eating this food as fast as the last bag.. I had to fill the feeder every day with the old bag, this bag only every other day or three.. My resident squirrel is mad that there are hardly any sun flower seeds in it....

Don’t waste your money!

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.

Good other than the sand burs in it

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.
