Great price, too much corn
Great amount for the price but seems like its majority cracked corn which my neighborhood birds like less than the other seeds.

Disappointed
I appreciate finding a brand not super loaded with corn. Although it does contain corn, it has a variety of other seeds the birds here (NW Missouri) find palatable. My birds leave the corn. The yellow corn on the ground make it appear they have plenty to eat when they do not. I am glad to have found a brand that does not have as much waste as others and that my little birds definitely enjoy. I will be ordering more soon.That was my original review. I thought my 76 year old budget had found the perfect birdseed!But that was $9 for 10 pounds and today it is $26 for 10 pounds. I can’t purchase 30 pounds at a time so have reluctantly found another product that I hope the birds will like as much

Birds seem to love it, but I gave it 4-stars because I paid $17.49 for a 10-lb bag and found the exact one at ShopRite For $7.99.

Lawn replacement?
Great mix. Birds love it. Very messy but grows shockingly great grass under the feeder (which I’m pretty sure is millet) but it’s doing better than my actual lawn.

The best bird food
I purchased this for my bird feeders. The birds always seem to enjoy it. If some of the birdseed falls on the ground it can often sprout and cause weeds. Otherwise no issues with this bird feeder!

This was a great price. I feed it to the birds and they love it. I like to mix up what I feed them but they tore through this fast.

This works well and is attracting a lot of different birds to our bird feeder. No complaints; though, I don’t know how I rate “flavor” above – I guess it is for the birds.

Mix of seeds depends on your geographic location.
Full disclosure, this is my first bird feeder and seed. I live in central North Carolina. The seed blend may work well for different locations, but most of the activity I’ve seen has been on the sunflower seeds rather than the full blend. The smaller seeds attract other species, such as finches, but most of the activity has been on the sunflower seeds. I like the mix of seeds, but a higher blend of sunflowers would work best for our location.

Perfect for the wild birds in south central Texas
I have daily cardinals that visit the feeder for this. I even have a painted bunting (rather rare and very colorful) that is eating this. Unfortunately the squirrels love it as well.Will be buying again.

Fresh and colorful birdseed blend
This Wild Bird Food from Kaytee seems fresh, judging by the color and scent. I haven’t had any birds at my feeder, but I toss this in the bushes and the birds seem reactive. I have no reason to remove any stars.

Low grade bird food
Bought this during a period where it was hard to find bird seed, mostly as stop-gap, and that is all it is really good for. To its credit it is cheap, but the grain and seed quality is low compared to other brands, and was really only happy using this as a mixer in a blend of higher grade bird seed mixes. It contains corn, a grain I typically avoid if possible. Despite its relatively poor quality, it does get eaten so it serves its purpose.

A bit messy
Amazon asks about freshness and flavor. I do not eat them myself (Of course) So I am the wrong person to ask. This mix contains many small seeds that do not stay in the bird feeder but make a mess when I feel the birdfeeder and when I hang up

All the Local Birds LOVE This Seed!!
I just ordered 3 bags (30 lbs) of this seed mixture and all the birds just love it! My last order was Dec 1st, but it took several weeks before the birds “caught on” to the squirrel-proof feeder. With the snow and very extreme wind chills recently here in the greater KC area, the birds have flocked to my feeder. The shipping was very fast from the Seller, and the value of the seed mixture per the cost is excellent. Don’t hesitate to buy this seed for your birds during challenging winter months.Note to Amazon Delivery: This was NOT great whatsoever. Instead of delivering to my front door, the driver delivered to our apartment clubhouse mailroom. This order was 30lbs!! I’m a Senior with back issues, had to drive up to the Clubhouse (my Apt building is next door!!), lug a 30lb box to my vehicle, and then back to my Apt garage. Please use common sense when delivering a huge heavy box. I ordered 3 bags thinking my order would get delivered to my front door due to the size and weight. Zero Stars for the delivery.

Lasts long and great at attracting birds
I have a bird feeder which I use to attract some birds and add some flair to my backyard. However, I’ve had issues figuring out what birds are nearby and what specific feed to buy. Knowing next to nothing about birds, I bought some random feeds from the local pet store, only to realize they haven’t attracted a single bird. Not only that, but they’d also grow mold after not that long.This bird feed on the other hand seems to work very well. Now there’s tons of birds of different varieties flying in and out of my backyard thanks to it containing a mix of different feeds. Now I can finally enjoy watching the birds at my backyard. Beyond that, this bird feed mix also seems to have a significantly longer shelf life compared to the other feeds. Overall this bird feed is a great product and is guaranteed to attract a diverse variety of birds.

Great seeds for a variety of birds!
I was a little skeptical at first that the smaller birds wouldn’t like this seeds but here in California it has attracted the larger birds like blue jays and the smaller birds like sparrows! I would recommend this product.
