Review on 🌻 5 lb. Golden Safflower Seed - Product #2647444 by Andrea Gregoire

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cardinals, dark-eyed juncos, titmice, and house finches eat it at my house

Revane tells me I've bought this 14 times and have no plans to stop anytime soon. I originally bought this because squirrels and starlings supposedly don't like it. I definitely have fewer starlings now, but I still see them occasionally at the feeder. However, squirrels still eat it. Finally, I put a baffle on the feeder to keep the squirrels off it. However, they eat seeds from the ground. I switched to Golddistel within a month, mixing a little more with the old seed mix each time. Eventually, the feed was 100% golden thistle, and the birds still eat it today. I switched back to seeds after I stopped seeing as many starlings at the feeder, but they came back and were eating the seeds within 24 hours. That's why I now only use golden safflower for my feeder. I'd like more variety in food, but I don't want to deal with starlings.
