Kaytee Wild Bird (No Mess or Waste Free) Food Seed Blend For Blue Jays, Woodpeckers, Juncos, Cardinals, Grosbeaks, Sparrows, and Finches, 10 Pound, (Packaging May Vary)

I ordered these bird seeds because I enjoying feeding the birds that come into my yard. It is definitely waste free. The birds are able to eat all of the seeds with no shells left behind. These seeds do not make a mess in my yard and for that I am grateful. The birds appear to enjoy the seeds as I have several birds to visit my bird feeder to include blue rays, Cardinals, and occasionally a woodpecker. The seeds has a nice earthy smell and it is very easy to store and pour inside the bird feeder container. The color of the seeds are tan with other color seeds mixed in which is probably another reason the birds may be drawn to the food. I enjoy watching the birds enjoy this food. I would definitely recommend this product for all wild bird lovers.

Two Pack: I was excited to get a two-pack of the seeds we have started purchasing for our outdoor birds. The bags came perfectly fine and were identical. I love that I was able to get twenty pounds of seeds at a cheaper price per oz, making it easier for me to feed my favorite little birds. The seed is pretty high quality, making it great for our household.Review of the seed itself:We got this bird feed because it was very similar to the feed we were feeding our birds, but in a larger size. The only difference is that it doesn't have dried fruit. Since it's pretty much the exact same mix of seed (minus the fruit), we know our birds will absolutely love it, especially since all the smaller birds love coming to our more hidden bird feeder. My only complaint with the mix is that it is not resealable, meaning I will have to put it in a container, get a clip, or put it inside my vacuum sealer and hope for the best (using just the sealing function to burn the top closed).My other issue with the mix is that it isn't mess-free. It is still very dusty, and if you are prone to allergies, you will notice the moment you open the bag. At the end of the day, though, the birds love it, and that is all I really care about. As long as my favorite birds have healthy seeds and keep coming back, I will likely continue to buy this mix.

This bird food is nice because it is no mess, meaning that all the seeds have had the hull removed and everything in the bag is edible, so your deck or patio doesn't get covered in inedible hulls. It is mostly millet, cracked corn and broken bits of sunflower seeds with a few peanuts scattered about. We have a long trough type feeder on the side of a deck rail and I dump a large amount of food out every day. We have had over 50 different species of birds on our deck, so I like to keep feeding year round. We also get squirrels and chipmunks at the feeder, which doesn't bother me. Everybody has to eat, and I enjoy their antics. We can clearly see the feeder from the house and all the wildlife provides a lot of entertainment. I switch up the food depending on what is the best deal at the time, but I always get the no mess type because... wait for it... it doesn't make a mess!

Due to negative comments in reviews about the corn in this product, I almost did not order it. I used to buy the Kaytee mixed wild bird seed when it was on sale, but stopped when it was basically cracked corn with a little bird seed thrown in. Corn is a cheap filler and can be bought alone for a low price. Fortunately, there was no problem with corn in this bag. Yes, there are some small whole kernel pieces, but not that many, and I have squirrels.This bag was a pretty good mixture of mostly sunflower chips and millet. Both very well liked and millet is not cheap, plus sorely missing in many mixed seed bags these days. Peanuts? Not that many. In fact, I could not recommend this to someone wanting peanuts. You'll have to buy the Kaytee shelled peanuts, which usually have a lot of pulverized peanut skins, but is still a better deal than other brands of shelled peanuts for birds.

Birds loved this mix, as did the squirrels. Definitely no waste happening with this mix. I guess the trick is to get a bird feeder that actually does deter the squirrels (although ours seemed content to grab the seeds that fell from the feeder to the ground).

I sure get the birds with this mix! Lots of cardinals, blue jays, and chickadees. Price seems very good on Amazon compared to when I've purchased in the store.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Does attract a variety of birds. Finches, sparrows, juncos, chickadees, etc. HOWEVER, definitely the messiest seed I’ve ever had in the feeder. Everyday I had a pile of seed and seed carcass all over the patio. Since there was so much on the ground and not always possible to keep clearing, we also got more squirrels, and a mouse. Which was cute but not the assignment. As much as they liked it, won’t get again.

This is THE favorite wild bird seed at our house! The birds seem to love the taste, the color, and the smell as we must refill our feeders often! It is the best value for our money for a waste free, shell free wild bird seed!
