“I like the fact that there is no waste in this bird food but I cannot figure out how to install it as there were no directions. It is a great concept though and is nice to watch the birds come eat...I have to lean it against a tree”
“The birds like this bird’s choice bird food. I couldn’t keep there feeder full enough. They loved it so much. I recommend this to my mom so she could try it and she liked it.”
“I have been feeding birds for ages. My parents fed birds. We are bird people! I will say it took me a while to adapt to a few things that have changed my whole bird feeding view, especially after having running battles with squirrels for a very long time. So, here goes:
1. I bought a Slinky. Yes, all those videos about using Slinkys on your poles to keep the squirrels at bay do work. Since adding them to our two poles, the squirrels just looking longingly up but no matter how much they try, they have not figured out how to defeat it.
2. I bit the bullet, after reading many reviews, to pay more for a no-waste bird food. This food is more expensive then other brands, but let me give it the praise it deserves: I go through MUCH LESS food now. Why? Because the birds are not pushing the garbage seeds out to get to what they want. In addition, for some of the birds, like the nuthatches, that only like certain seeds, the ones they still push out are eaten by the juncos and sparrows, as well as the squirrels who poke around underneath the feeder. I have two feeders, and it's been a month and I still have half a bag left of this bird food. Also, I moved the feeders up to our deck, and there is NO SEED LEFT underneath. It is all eaten by other birds or squirrels. No clean up. The juncos will even go under the deck to check for any seed that feel through. I am a true believer now of spending a little more for a much better result, as the value you get per pound is fantastic.
3. I bought capscasin suet squares. A little more per pack, but birds are not bothered and the squirrels learn quickly to avoid them. I now have woodpeckers and chickadees happily feeding away without competing with the squirrels.
So, as to the seed, RUN don't WALK to order this stuff. It is well made, seems fresh, and it's just a good value for your dollar in the long run.”
