I have a window feeder on the south side of my home (I'm in South Florida). It took approximately 3 weeks before I noticed any activity. At present, I only have blue jays eating at this feeder...I don't mind it at all as some people have a problem with the jays. They only visit briefly just before sun up and very late afternoon and their visits are less than 30 seconds.

The sunflower seeds are not very big and half this bag seems to be milo/millet. I'm watching the birds shovel it out of the feeder to get what little they want. Now that its getting warmer, I have hundreds of sprouts coming up of things they did not eat. Even though it is more expensive, I'm going back to Walmart to get the Nut n Berry.

This food is awesome! It attracts some wonderful birds to our feeders year around. We have woodpeckers, cardinals, tufted titmouse, painted bunting and many other wonderful variety of birds here in our area. It's fantastic to see how many varieties of birds enjoy this food. What's even more impressive is the low cost of this premium bird food, particularly when we compare it to our local feed stores!

No, there aren’t many raisins or peanuts in this mix but the birds love it. Cardinals, sparrows, finches, woodpeckers, and we’ve seen 3 orioles in our yard checking it out this week so we quickly hung up the hummingbird/oriole feeder. Local birds are happy with it so we’ll keep buying it.

The birds love it... and it lasts for quite a while. Only negative is how many weeds are now growing everywhere I use this product, also there is a little residual mess from the sunflower shells. Before purchasing this I only fed “no waste” products and there was no mess, no weeds but more expensive.

I usually buy black oil sunflower seed (plus some thistle, peanuts and mealworms for small feeders). I have a lot of ground feeding birds coming through that like millet, so I bought this. But, they aren't touching it. Even the sunflower seeds, which may be striped rather than black oil, are ignored. I have it in two tube feeders ( I figured the millet would be picked out when the tube feeders grabbed the sunflowers as has happened with other seed mixes) and in some ground feeders. The tube feeders are still full after a week, while the black oil feeders have had to be refilled several times. I thought it would be loved by the juncos and other ground feeders that like millet, but they don't show any interest. I won't buy more.

I bought the pennington brand to mix with this as I feed alot of birds and squirrels. To my great disappointment, I should not have done that. This bird seed is GREAT but I was just trying to stretch it. Now I bought 40 pounds of sunflower seed to throw in the mix. I will stick to this supreme blend from now on and nothing else!

I've tried to go cheap, but you get what you pay for. I don't know how, but the birds but they do. We had a huge variety of birds come to my backyard feeder with this brand and I went through four bags of it this winter. They ate a 2 quart pitcher's worth almost every day. I tried the Pennington Wild Bird Feed with Cherry Flavor *(also sold at Sam's) and the birds disappeared almost entirely. This is the best bird seed I've found.

The last 40lb bag from Sam's had a green, blue and white label and the birds loved it. I got this bag this time and I notice it is mostly sunflower seeds. Maybe this attracts a different bird but I used to have a constant flow of birds around my feeder, at all times of day. My office looks out at the feeder so I am regularly watching. Now, with this purple-label bag, I just don't get many birds. Sure, I get some, but it is significantly fewer than before.

Must be my 4 or 5th bag, l have noticed that there ARE MORE TWIGS AND OTHER UNEDIBLE STUFF! My Birds love it better than the Petco brand, but I have to take off the twigs and other stuff, or they will Jam my Bird Feeders! MORE QUALITY CONTROL PLEASE!
