The product receives positive feedback for its quality, with one customer noting it’s better than crickets, and another mentioning the smaller bag size makes filling feeders easier. However, the seed quality and corn content receive mixed reviews, with some customers appreciating the abundance of sunflower seeds while others find there’s too much corn.

Good way to help backyard birds
This is basic seed mix and least expensive that i have found. Delivery is helpful for less abled people, and bulk birdseed hard to find except in feed stores in my urban area. Birds, bunnies and squirrels all enjoy it.

Great Value â The Birds Love It!
This Kaytee Wild Bird Basic Seed has been a hit with the birds in our yard. As soon as we filled the feeder, we started seeing a steady stream of cardinals, finches, sparrows, and even the occasional dove. Itâs a good basic blend that attracts a variety of backyard birds without breaking the bank.The seed itself looks clean and fresh, with minimal dust or filler. The 10 lb bag is a perfect sizeâeasy to store and lasts a decent amount of time depending on how active your feeder is. It pours easily without clumping and works great in both tube and tray feeders.If you’re just getting started feeding wild birds or looking for a reliable everyday seed, this is a solid choice. Great quality and great price.

Bag cut.
Product is great. Bag was cut and birdseed was all in the box. So upset. Not worth returning. Amazon is getting more and more careless.

No complaints from the birds
Have had no complaints from the birds of any kind. Must be good and good for them as they keep coming back in flocks. Not a bad price.

Birds, Birds Fat Fat Birds
It took a couple of weeks for the local population to find my camera feeder but once they did I have the fattest birds in the neighborhood. Just yesterday I had 58 interactions involving three different species of birds. So far I have had 9 different species of birds and one squirrel (I managed to put in anti-squirrel measures which seemed to have worked) visit my feeder. The birds begin showing up right after dawn and continue to dusk. I canât imagine another brand of seed doing better.

The birds seem to like it so we got what we wanted. And yes, squirrels seem to enjoy the seeds too unfortunately. Unfortunately we realized too late how pricey it is so not great value for our money. My wife found similar seed in bulk and bought an equivalent or greater quantity for a small fraction of what we paid for Kaytee seeds. Not likely to buy anymore Kaytee at Amazon.

WellI put this bird see out at 4 different bird feeder stations along hiking trails. Three on the stations chipmunks and squirrels ate it all up and the fourth station, a bear totally demolished the station. But zero birds were observed at any site.
Janet Sol –
This is the ideal bird seed mix for finches, robins, sparrows, cardinals, & others.(Apparently, also for squirrels–you’ve been warned!)
Sarah –
The birds are loving this seed and I think that the whole bird community has figured it out. Iâve pretty much gone through a whole bag in 2 days and now the birds are giving me the stink eye. Iâm afraid that if I donât get more of this stuff, that they will collectively revolt upon my head. I have had a blast watching the birds go crazy over this seed.
