Ratings & Reviews for Pennington Black Oil Sunflower Classic Wild Bird Seed 40-lb

Wild bird seed

This wild bird seed mix is sure to fill the bellies of the neighborhood wild birds! The 10 pound bag is filled with an assortment of seeds, and I was happy to see lots of sunflower seeds! Looking forward to filling our Pennington feeder with this classic bird seed mix and watching the birds enjoy their meal.

Good Mix

The best I can tell, the birds eat it all.

product has lots of various seeds

Product looks fresh with plenty of sunflower seeds. The cardinals have really enjoyed the seed.

Bird food

Birds live it

Curbside pickup Green Supreme

Another 10 bags of wood pellets. Curb Pickup! Efficient and fast loading! Friendly associates! Convenient for a busy person! Green Supreme burn hot and low ash. Good product.

watch out for shipping charges

I wanted a 40 lb seed bag for $29 but there was a $10 shipping charge so I bought the 20lb seed bag with no shipping charge, why is there a charge on one item and not the other? not happy with the outrageous shipping charge, will not pay a 33% markup shipping charge on a $29 item

Won't buy again.

Got this for the birds. Even the squirrels won't eat it. Just a mess on the concrete to clean up

I would not buy this product again

I have bought this bird seed before but this bag was very different. I will show in an image some of what I have been finding in the bag.

This is my favorite product for my birds

I have been using your product for almost 3 years, but this last bag I bought, I was kind of disappointed because it had fewer sunflower seeds than usual and my doves and many other birds ear everything else my Cardinals are short changed with this last bag I purchased. Perhaps the machine or something was low on sunflower seeds. Sorry, I am sure it was a mishap in some way, I just wanted you to be aware.

My birds won't even come to my feeders anymore

Terrible mix, my birds won't even eat it and won't come to my feeders. Very disappointed in all of the Pennington foods. I also at the same time but a 40 lb bag of sunflower seeds that had been eaten by worms which I did not know it first. Tried feeding those as well and all of my birds disappeared. Hopefully they didn't die. Will not feed their foods again.

Peanuts don't work

I put this bird feed in my feeder. When I was pouring the bird seed, i found in shell peanuts. These will not go through my bird feeder. Very disappointed. Also after the first use of the rest of the feed, I found three dead birds in my yard. I wonder if there is a connection. Also, this is my second bag of the same thing. I am wondering about buying any more. I have used this product for years but now I am questioning. I hope you change things.

Last longer

Variety of seeds as well as sunflower seeds and corn.

Poor quality!!

I have noticed in the last several 40lb bags that there are excessive amounts of twigs and debris in the seed. I feel I have wasted my money on at least the last 2 bags I purchased.

I WILL NEVER BUY THIS AGAIN

I'VE BOUGHT SEVERAL BAGS JUST THIS YEAR TO FEED THE BIRDS IN MY YARD. YESTERDAY 2 CHICKENS AND A ROOSTER SHOWED UP SO I PUT SOME IN A PLASTIC BOWL. I'VE SEEN STEMS AND THEY DON'T BOTHER ME BUT HOWEVER I DRAW THE LINE AT GLASS!!!!! I'M ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THIS BAG AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE BIRDS I HAVE BEEN FEEDING WITH THIS. IF YOU CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY DISCONNECT BEFORE YOU CAN TALK TO ANYONE. I LEFT A EMAIL THIS MORNING AND I'M NOT REALLY EXPECTING A REPLY. I HAVE THROWN THIS BAG IN...

I have put this seed out and no birds will eat it.

I put chopped almonds in it to try to get the birds to eat it. They still will not. I flipped a glass outdoor table over filled it with chopped nuts, seed, and peanuts in the shell. Still no birds. Does this seed repel birds?

Full of Milo Seeds and Insect Pest!

Really! Birds will simply kick the Milo seeds out of the feeders choosing the white millet seeds instead. This is nothing new and is common knowledge among bird enthusiast. Seems to me Pennington is using the Milo seeds to fluff the bag with inferior useless Milo seeds in order to increase their profit! Also, I have notice increasingly more stems and trash in the seed bags. Seriously guys, you can do much better for the consumers that purchase your products!
