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.

Pennington Black Oil Sunflower Wild Bird Feed

Would Recommend

The Pennington Black Oil Sunflower wild bird feed was received with the feeder. It is a good mix of seeds, including sunflower seeds, which attracts several different birds to the feeder. The seed is mixed well, and is a good size to fit through the ports of most feeders. Our birds seemed slow to be attracted to it, but once they did, we got finches, chickadees, cardinals, sparrows and blue jays (of course). The squirrels loved it too, unfortunately, which required us to buy a baffle to keep the...

Ok Bird Seed with some fillers

Would Not Recommend
