This was a fairly decent price but I was really unimpressed with the heavy addition of sunflower seeds, rendering it less useful for bird feeders meant for smaller song birds. This used to be a better balance for all the songbirds. It is now almost black with all the sunflower seeds. The birds still empty the feeders but now they knock the feed out on the ground to get to the little seeds. The squirrels are grateful.

The birds have left my feeder after I filled it with this seed. I found Morning Song bird seed (Sam's Club previously carried Morning Song) at another store. Now that my feeder has Morning Song bird seed, the cardinals and the prettier songbirds have returned. I will not be purchasing Valley Splendor seed from Sam's.

I agree with the reviewer who can't understand why people woudn't like this. I have bought lots of different bird food and yes I like the Morning Song brand, however, I feed birds. I have six feeders and small bags are not an option. This has great seed, not filler. I had been buying sunflower seed separately and adding; there is no need to do that with this brand. Kudos to Sams and the Valley Spendor Co. Yeah!

I bought this product in a 40 Lb bag and after filling my feeders with it, I didn't have many birds coming to it. They don't like it as well as other foods I've bought. The biggest complaint is too much trash and lots of sand / gravel in it. I would dare to say, that it has 20% trash and probably, the sand is 15% of the weight of the bag. I've filled out a complaint at the manufactures web site at valleysplendor.com and it wouldn't even let me submit it after trying to 5 times. So called and left messages with no return phone call. I called Sam's and they said to bring it in and get a refund. I will not buy this again.

This seed has changed. It now has heavy peanut-like pellets that are NOT peanuts. The birds will not eat it...even the squirrels leave it alone. This seed did not always have this peanut-like additive. But it does now. I looked at the ingredients on the bag, and whatever this strange additive is was not mentioned. This is very unethical of Sam's. So dissappointed. I will not be buying this seed again--and I have purchased it for a decade!

Hello: I've been buying Valley Splendor Supreme Bird Seed from Sam's Club for several years but am very disappointed with my last two 40-Lb bag purchases, both bought at different times within the last six months. Both were loaded with gypsy moth larvae and adult moths. I've tried to get rid of the larvae by putting the bags out in the hot sun all day, but that didn't do any good. Apparently the tiny eggs are very resistant. I filled my two large Droll Yankee bird feeders with the seed anyway, after picking out as many larvae as I could see, hoping the birds would still eat the seed, but the decaying remains of the eggs, hatched larvae and associated fine webbing messed the bird seed and the feeder up so badly that the birds wouldn't eat the food. I ended up throwing about half of the first bag and all of the second bag away, in addition to having to take my feeders apart and scour them out. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Also, I thought you would want to be made aware of the problem.

The birds like it!

For years I have been making a 50/50 mix of a premium blend + black oil sunflower. Then seed prices went through the roof, so I started looking for alternatives. This seed has no Milo (filler that birds don't eat) and lots of black oil sunflower. The protein/fat/fiber analysis is outstanding and comparable to my 50/50 mix. At Sam's low price for 40lbs you can't beat it!

I have always purchased Pennington Bird food which has been quite popular with a variety of birds. Typically there are at least 15-30 birds at my 4 feeders throughout the day. The Member's Mark Supreme Blend Wild Bird Food was on sale, so I thought I would try it. Big mistake! All 4 feeders have been untouched for over one week. I even scattered some seed on the ground but even the squirrels aren't eating it!

90% sunflower seeds.
