diameter around the feeder trying to sift through to the peanuts included in the mixture. LOL So it should be labeled "Yes Waste Select" and Chaos GUARANTEED.
Instead, I will pay a little bit more and stick to sunflower hearts and pieces. I will never buy it again.
The squirrel population at my house quadrupled when I used this in my feeder. The birds were frustrated because the squirrels actually lounged in prone position on the edges of the feeder.
The squirrels share more than equally with the birds and act civilized :) They slung it in a 6-ft.
And what they slung sprouted into various grasses.
and the birds go through it fast. the no-waste select is an especially good choice if you have domesticated pets. they are attracted to shells, waste etc of regular birdseed which can cause terrible and sometimes serious digestive issues.
For the price I paid for 15 lbs, I could have gotten 20 lbs of high quality no-mess at the bird store or three times as much millet seed at the grocery. The real advantage of no-mess feed is that the sunflower seeds are hulled, but this feed has so few sunflower seeds, it hardly matters. This seed may be especially fresh or some other advantage not immediately evident and some of the birds will like it, but I don't consider it a good value for the price. This seed is almost entirely millet and I was expecting something much better for the price. Some birds prefer millet, particularly ground feeders, so they will be happy, but most feeder birds prefer something more substantial, like sunflower seeds.
:-) This is because you are paying only for edible seed, instead of paying for shells, hulls and chaff.It also means there is no mess in your yard, because everything gets eaten.I have done an extensive online comparison, and - particularly with prime (free shipping) this seed from Amazon is actually a very good price.Now if only I could keep my goats out of it. I exclusively use no-waste bird seed. As another reviewer noted, it seems so much more expensive, but it lasts much longer.
What a waste of money. I bought 30 pounds of this bird seed, because I live in Montana and thedescription said "for many kinds of birds" WRONG.of all the birds in my part of Montana.not one bird has eaten one seed.
