Great value for money but being discontinued ???
This 8lb bag of sunflower chips is great value and all my birds love it. However, I’ve had trouble ordering it on my subscription and only seem to be able to get it on regular order. I am told by Chewy they are discontinuing it but Kaytee tell me they’re still producing it. Doesn’t make sense to me.
A Lot of Quality Seed for the Money
The birds at my feeders eat a lot of seed......a lot. So I'm always looking for sales and bargains in shelled sunflower seeds. These seeds seem be high quality, the price can be fantastic, and delivery was quick. I'm a repeat customer......RESPECT!
Birds VERY happy
Local feed distributor went out of business, garden center prices on hulled sunflower seeds were over $3.50 a pound Found Chewy's - these are the answer, six bags keep the birds happy for a month or two and we are happy keepin them supplied. Free shipping is a big deal and very impoprtant - used to buy 50# bags. now 6 8 pound work/
sunflower chips
thank you Chewys for offering a great price. Before I had to catch another company's yearly March and October sale. Now my birds will be happy year round and I won't have to skimp and save to feed them. They give us so much pleasure, don't they?
Not the best quality
I too was totally disappointed by Kaytee and the percentage of chips/sunflower dust that arrived in each bag. In the past I've received bags that were mostly sunflower seed and then bags that are mostly sunflower dust. I've been feeding birds for 20+ years and these birds are smart enough to toss out the tiny chips as trash. Even the doves and smaller birds are not eating the remnants that have been tossed from the feeder.
Not as described
Manufacturer is selling mostly whole seeds now, and mislabeling them as chipped. This allows them to sell fewer seeds in a bag. Have to chip them myself. Not at all happy.
Full kernels!
Last winter the bags were mostly chips and crumbs. I didn’t complain because I get birds that eat everything. My last order was excellent. No chips, full kernels. Can’t beat the price.
Sunflower meal
I made a mistake and ordered Kaytee rather than the usual Wagners sunflower hearts and chips. I won’t make it again. I’m not even sure what I can do with this stuff, as the birds must find it difficult to eat. It just sits in the feeders.
Everyone enjoys these seeds!
Reading reviews from an earlier purchase I understood that some bags had a maybe 1/4% (or less) mix of smaller chips. My point is I noticed. Then as I fed my array if species, I found out that the smaller bird's Chickadees, Junco's, Finches, Titmice, and Nuthatches loved the smaller pieces. They didn't have to fly away into a tree to break them apart. I feed them on the railing on the deck and they will just stay there (while looking around of course) and eat at a leisurely pace. Plus, the Jays, Doves, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and squirrels enjoy them to no end. My last shipment was packaged differently with (4) bags laying down and there was practically no breakage. Still great, everyone is happy either way.
The birds like it
I switched from a bird seed meant for parakeets to this sunflower seed in an effort to stop weeds from growing under my bird feeder. My fear was I would not see as many birds, but it actually seems like I get a wider variety of birds with the sunflower.
