Pennington Select Birder’s Blend 15 lbs.

Very good stuff
This seems to draw more birds than Pennington cheaper products. However, of course it makes a mess on the ground due to sunflower seed pods. May try sunflower chip product next.

Birds like it
A nice blend that attracts a variety of birds, at a decent price.

Pennington Pride Songbird Nut & Fruit Blend, Wild Bird Seed
I have this in a feeder for smaller birds, and the finches, sparrows and chickadees really seem to like it, but they really make a mess on our patio, throwing a lot on the ground. I don’t know if they are trying to get certain seeds but they really throw a lot of the sunflower seeds out. But then the squirrels, chipmunks and doves get to eat also. I doubt if I will buy this again as it is a bit pricey for the quantity.

Feeds Ten Mourning Doves, Six Grackles for Every Finch!
Late last year I bought a big bag of Pennington Pride Wild Finch blend to use in a small feeder I keep on a shepherd’s hook at the edge of my garden. It has done very well attracting medium-sized birds like doves and grackles and sparrows, but I hardly see any finches. A couple in the evening, and a Carolina chickadee, but nothing else. I thought maybe it was the location of the feeder, because I had loads of finches last summer when I had it hanging — filled with a different brand of finch seed — from a tree at the edge of the woods. But the squirrels got to it, so I got the shepherd’s hook and, by chance, the Pennington Pride Wild Finch blend.In late April, things started popping up in the garden, as they tend to do. I noticed a bunch of seedlings that looked a lot like corn; I assumed they were brought by birds from the cornfields a couple hundred yards back from my house. I pulled some, but left a few just to see watch them grow. It’s now the first week of June and it’s clear that this isn’t corn at all, but rather millet, and that they weren’t a welcome gift from the birds but an unwelcome artifact of the bird seed.Like a wacky conspiracy theory in the head of basement-dwelling crank, it all came together: the Pennington Pride Wild Finch blend is heavy on millet. Now, every red-blooded finch loves millet — and what’s not to love? — but do does every two-bit mourning dove and sun-sheened grackle. And those big fellas eat A LOT. So, at the end of the day, at the beginning of the day I’m feeding a bunch of mourning doves and grackles, and at the middle of the day I’m feeding a few finches and other little songbirds, and at the end of the day — every day — I’m filling my bird feeder with more Pennington Pride Wild Finch mix.I might solve my problem by buying a different feeder, where the bigger birds can’t get a toehold. But I think I’ll solve it by giving Pennington Pride Wild Finch mix the old shepherd’s hook and going back to a brand with less millet and more thistle and nyjer.*This is not legal advice. Your mileage may vary. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Tell your doctor if you have HIV or acne or if you like the Talking Heads song “Blind”. If your goldfinches feed for more than four hours, see a doctor.

The wild birds love this food, problem now is they invited there friend and family to dine and my 10 lb bag is going down quick
