Kaytee Waste Free Finch Blend 8 Pounds

Good seed that is perfect for my birds.

Great blend for tube finch feeders. Better value than using all niger seed. The gold finches also like this blend better.

My gold/purple finches, chickadees, morning doves (rats with wings) and squirrels (cute-looking rats) LOVE this birdseed! The two seeds are THE most preferred, both for their size (the tinier the seed the easier for finches to eat - especially the sunflower CHIPS rather than hearts) and nutrition! The fact that they're shell-free makes a HUGE difference in what falls to the ground, because all of THAT gets eaten, too! The nyjer is practically invisible once it falls onto dirt or into grass, and the sunflower chips are gobbled up before the day's over, so win-win! I have my bird feeder clamped onto a deck railing and on a long pole that swings out 360 degrees away from the railing so squirrels can't get to it, and in a tube feeder specifically for finches, so the morning doves can't eat from the feeder either (the perches are only big enough for tiny birds). Whatever food falls to the ground, falls onto bushes below me, so birds can pick these up later - and be safe from predators who can't see them in the bushes. This bird food has NO millet in it, which is essentially "filler" (like corn or rice is in dog food) and ends up ALL over the ground, because the birds know it's junk and disregard it, eating only the premium seed - nyjer and sunflower chips. As this food is pricey because of the quality, I stay on budget by only putting the food out in the morning and taking down the feeder at mid-day. The birds have plenty to eat all morning, and what's on the ground seems to satisfy them, and me, because I can't see anything leftover by the end of the day! No mess, indeed! The seed itself was fresh, didn't smell funky at all, and exactly what I was looking for. I wish the bag was self-sealing (like a freezer bag), but I opted to get an airtight plastic container with a little scooper to store the seeds in and it's perfect. All in all, this is great bird seed and the birds and I are VERY happy over all!

Only food I use! Gets all the goldfinches and then some!

Previous review was too early. Birds are back and eating the product.

Product used for outdoor bird feeders. Enough variety of nuts, mullet, corn and kernels for variety of birds and squirrels. Fresh smelling with no dust emitted.

Birds love it, Downey woodpeckers and a variety of different finches this winter

Love this no waste bird seed. The finch love it! Not bad priced compared to other brands. And there are no fillers
