Birdseed, although expensive, quickly pays for itself

I thought about this purchase for a long time before buying it because I was afraid it might harm the birds. When I learned they couldn't taste it because birds don't have salivary glands, I felt more confident. The cost of a Β£5 bag was very high but I decided to take the risk anyway. Our squirrels, although cute with their antics, emptied our bird feeder every day - sometimes for hours. As a result, only squirrels remained at the feeding station and not a single bird. So I placed the order and received it on time. On the first day I saw a squirrel jumping to the feeder. Looks like he got the seed but literally a second later the squirrel bounced off the feeder and it didn't come back. I haven't seen another squirrel for several weeks and when it appeared the squirrel immediately disappeared. Now the bird feeder is filled with birds that eat every day and the squirrels don't bother them! It initially took a few days for the birds to return so I would advise you to be patient and have a water source for them nearby. The bird feeder sits on a curved pole attached to our deck. There are branches very close by so the birds can easily retreat if they feel threatened. We can actually watch them eat while sitting on the deck. Bird seed lasts much longer since there are no more squirrels. I've ordered a Β£10 bag for next time because it's a little cheaper per pound. I haven't tried the cheaper seeds because they definitely worked for me. We have cardinals, finches and titmice reappearing, as well as the occasional dove. We also no longer have grackle problems. I believe that the hot peppers actually increased the red crown in both male cardinals and male finches from this food, which is another plus. I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
