Review on 🌻 5 lb. Golden Safflower Seed - Product #2647444 by Amanda Thacker

First, it smells awful, almost like a chemical smell. I was afraid there was pesticides in it. But I read the label, it was well packed, so I decided to try it in my feeders. I live in North Florida and am always looking for something new to try with my pet birds. I placed this in a tube feeder with the bottom half of the black sunflower oil and white safflower mixture and the top half of this new golden safflower. Birds will obviously jump from ports with this food to ports with a mix of sunflower and white safflower. So I moved it to my own feeder. The only birds that fly to the golden safflower house are the titmice and they seem to enjoy it very much and will be back for more. Other birds (cardinals, titmice, wrens and woodpeckers) do not approach it. On a positive note, I was able to pop gold thistle into feeders with no protection from squirrels and it was still there three days later. Squirrels and raccoons aren't happy either. I won't buy him again because he didn't bring any new bird species and most birds don't like him. Although it was an interesting experiment.
