What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this bird seed for attracting cardinals, finches, blue jays, and other species that return frequently and consume it eagerly. Many highlight the appeal of sunflower seeds and peanuts in the mix. However, a notable group expresses frustration with increased filler seeds like milo and wheat that birds discard, viewing this as a formula decline. Some feel the product is overpriced given uneaten seed waste. Despite these concerns, most customers consider it a reliable choice that delivers strong bird activity and satisfaction.

Would RecommendWe get this bird seed for exactly what it says, cardinals. They just eat this stuff up, we have to fill up the feeder on a regular basis, maybe a down side. But we love looking at the birds out our window when we have our morning coffee.
Waiting for Spring (and Birds)
Would RecommendI received the Classic Wild Bird Seed Feed Black Oil Sunflower Bird Seed (10 lbs) to start feeding birds, but the snow has made that impossible for now. Even without using it yet, the seed itself looks really high quality. The bag arrived sealed and clean, and the seeds look fresh with no dust or filler mixed in. They’re a good size and look like the kind birds actually want, which is important. Black oil sunflower seeds attract a lot of different birds, so I’m excited to see what shows up once...

Attracts Birds Quickly, Mostly Small Seed Mix
Would RecommendThis is a decent bird seed mix and it works well in my feeder. While it’s labeled as black oil sunflower seed, there isn’t a lot of black oil sunflower in the mix. It’s mostly millet, milo, and oat groats, with only a small amount of sunflower seed. That said, the birds still like it. Within about five minutes of filling the feeder, I had several birds show up, mostly smaller birds like finches. The seed flows well and hasn’t caused any issues with clogging. Overall, it’s a good general bird s...

Nice Mix. Birds Like It.
Would RecommendThis is a nice mix of bird feed. I assume the birds like it. None have left any notes to the contrary. This mix is high on little round seeds and low on sunflower seeds if that matters to your backyard birds.

The Birds really seem to like this food
Would RecommendThe Birds really seem to like this food. Its nice to be able to attract them closer to home for viewing. My bag came ripped, but not due to packaging and found a bird eating what fell from the box on delivery.
Always love ❤️ Penningtons products
Would RecommendLove all of Penningtons products, they always attract a wide variaty of birds in any season. Penningtons wild bird feed is no exception amd is small enough to dispense easily in the eco feeders.
typical bird seed
Would RecommendThis bird seed came with a bird feeder. It has a wide variety of seed in it for the birds. However, in my opinion, it has a lot of filler seed that birds often throw out to get to what they want. The birds are eating it as of this writing. Hard to tell how much is going to ground and it is too cold right now to go out and check. Because of squirrels in our yard, I primarily feed only safflower since squirrels do not care for safflower and leave the bird feeders alone. But, using this seed ...
Perfect!
This bird feed attracts most seed eating birds. It has vitamins and minerals added for higher nutritional value. Great seed for the backyard bird watchers. Highly recommended.
