Shafer Black Oil Sunflower Bird Seed
The birds and squirrels in my backyard enjoy this product. This 40-Pound bag was graciously carried into my back porch upon my asking the considerate Amazon man to help me with it.

The birds love it and so do the squirrels, raccoons and an opposum.
As always, the seed is fresh and at a good price. Will buy again.

Getting Pricy…!
Very good product. My birds love them. My last bag was $62 and now I see it’s $92 for same bag. Sorry, you have lost me as a frequent buyer. Inflation is getting ridicules! Good luck!

Great for Bird feed
If your into feed birds in your backyard this “Buds” for you. Cheapest seed I’ve found recently since the price of everything has gone up. If recession increases the birds may have to go hungry every other day.

Pretty pure!
I used to buy another brand, and there were a lot of sticks and other debris. This seed is practically stick-free. I’ve ordered this brand maybe 5 times, so far, and it usually comes in a day. Today I received mine in about 14 hours from when I ordered it! Not really related to the review, but a storage tip: I bought a regular-sized metal garbage can w/lid, heavy chain, and two of those spring-action metal grabber things (sorry, forget what they’re called). When I’m down to about 1/4 bag, I order another full bag, and it just fits, nice and snug. 3 yrs later and the squirrels haven’t gotten in it. I like not having it inside the house, and this keeps it dry and fresh.
