Wagner's 13010 Wild Bird Food, 30-Pound Bag

Great well rounded bird/squirrels in the rear year

THE BIRDS LOVE THIS BIRD SEED THANKYOU .

This might not be the very best bird food but the price per pound is great so the value is there. The birds are all really happy with it and they go through A LOT of seed so getting a good price per pound is important. There are sometimes stems and I found a small, bunched up piece of the material the bag is made from one time but it really isn't a big deal. It's also a little dustier than some of the more premium Wagner blends. I get the other blends, peanuts, and cracked corn too but this is the mainstay of my bird feed assortment. The chipmunks also seem pretty happy with it but it isn't supposed to be for them. Whatever. None is wasted, that's for sure.

I normally get Katy Birdseed, but it was going to take too long to get here, so I decided to give this a try. I'm glad I did, because the birds LOVE it! I think they might like it better than the Katy seed. I have three hanging feeders and I put peanuts out on a table, (at least until the jerk squirrel decided to do what those pests do) and the majority of the Flycatchers (I have a flock that visits every day) Prefer to forage on the porch for dropped seed from the feeders over eating peanuts! I'd say that's a pretty good endorsement. The *only* thing that I don't like about it is that this seed is very dusty, but as long as you fill the feeders outside, it should be fine. I filled them inside and it cause the room to get dusty.

Birds love this seed

The birds love it. Could use some more black sunflower seeds, but other than that great mix.

Regreting not taking a picture but it was so horrifying (the seeds looked like they were moving in the bag, it was so crawling with weevils) that I threw it into the garbage outside as quickly as I could and got to cleaning/vacuuming in case some got out into my home. The birds loved this seed, no complaints there. They heavily favored sunflower seeds so I was supplementing with a bag of sunflower seeds leaving this bag stretching for months. I'd had it for probably 3 months before the weevil explosion. Maybe they started with a few and I didn't notice (they're pretty small) but once I really noticed it was a complete infestation. I get the heebies just thinking about it. It could have been Amazon's storage conditions, but heads up you may wish to be careful about where you put this. I also ended up with pantry moths and the traps I put around the house after I threw out all of my dry goods (sadly) seemed to catch moths in the area the bird seed was being stored. Just an insect nightmare. I've lived in this house for 20 years and this is the first of either of these 2 insects I've ever dealt with. Hopefully the last!

I've been through about two bags a month for the bird feeder in my NY backyard. Per pound, this feed is (usually) a bargain value comparative to quantity of other smaller bags of feed. There is little/to no waist for the birds in the NY region. Great blend. The dense bag it is packed in is sturdy (resembles rigid bags that charcoal is packed in) and I've yet had any spill with shipping - its shipped each time to me in a box fitted to the size of the bag. Advise not to use a box cutter to open the box, or anything sharp, scissors, as you may inadvertently tear through the box into the bag. Otherwise, if you are a frequent birdfeeder this is very economical and environmentally sound compared to other packaged products! Edit: Update for picture of feeder and how much is eaten in a day by neighborhood birds, mostly sparrows and doves, however cardinals and bluejays have been spotted - regions specific, Long Island, NY. I frequently have to refill this feeder on a daily basis, through the winter. I'm sure more species will be attracted to this feed once spring migration is complete.
