Kaytee Sunflower Hearts & Chips Wild Bird Food, 8-lb bag

Since moving to our new home, I've discovered there are several more birds in our neighborhood than where we use to live and I wanted to find a bird food to help attract them to our yard. I'm quite happy with this Kaytee Sunflower Hearts & Chips Wild Bird Food, its the perfect size for all the little neighborhood birds and we have definitely seen several visiting our birdfeeder throughout the day! Since switching to this bird food, we have to refill the feeder almost daily! The birds definitely love it! *I received CashBack on my purchase and am participating in a CashBack program.

The sunflower seeds and chips are smaller than other brands I have purchased. It isn’t what I personally prefer for my feeders.

The birds love this seed...I could fill three or four feeders with it and they'd all be empty in a day. UNFORTUNATELY, the price has MORE THAN DOUBLED per bag from just a few short months ago, and I will not be ordering, again. :(

I love this brand because I can always count on it of being quality! the birds in my area love this mix and will literally wait on the bird feeder if I run out. I always make sure to have their feeders full which keeps them coming back!

A lot of the seeds are super broken up and sort of pulverized. My birds seem to be neglecting the feeder that has this mix in it however the squirrels don’t mind it. I don’t plan to purchase again, I participated in a cash back campaign to try this out.

Oh wow, a bit of a mishap with this feed. Wish I would of read the other reviews that mentioned the seeds are pulverized... most of it is like sand, obliterated! My husband came home to find a massive box at the bottom of our driveway, in the middle, and had to put his hazards on and pull over to the side because he couldn't turn in. He couldn't even fit the box in the back of our SUV. It was the size of an old school washing machine. He had trouble getting the box through the front door of our home! He says "what did you order, it's from chewy but not very heavy.. a dog bed?" I said "...no, just seed" I never dreamed they would put 3 small bags in such a huge box and with zero padding, but they Oh wow, a bit of a mishap with this feed.

I said "...no, just seed" I never dreamed they would put 3 small bags in such a huge box and with zero padding, but they did. So when I saw that the seed was extremely chipped up I assumed it was from the bags banging against each other inside the massive box. I opened one bag and tried to put it in my sunflower feeder but it ran right through the holes. I couldn't even put it in my platform feeder because 75% falls through the screen. I put some in a tube feeder but the birds kept picking bits out and throwing it on the ground, looking for a bigger seed to fly off with. I ended up mixing it with some whole sunflower seeds and putting it in a tube feeder, hoping some of the little finches and wrens might grab it. So far there's a lot on the ground that nobody seems to want. One caveat, I did get these bags on sale. I thought it was a good deal, something like 40% off, and I have bought Kaytee products many times before. If it would of been noted that it was on sale because it was damaged or defective then buying it would of been a risk I assumed but it was not marked so. I wouldn't have purchased it, even on discount, if I had known it was tiny bits that the birds don't even bother with. I can't even imagine how I could use it aside from maybe homemade suet cakes but it would take forever to use up that way and they'd probably go rancid before I could. I have two unopened bags that I can see through the plastic are also pulverized so I'll just be returning those. … more

Sunflower seed in whatever form its offered is a good all around food that attracts many types of wild birds, etc. I decided to try this brand as the price was reasonable. Disappointed with it as there were zero hearts in this 8 lb. bag. What it did have was very tiny crushed pieces which work ok in tube feeders but not much else. Finches/sparrows are picking at it but others seem to prefer whole hearts. Returned to the brand I used before. On a better note, the contents had no inedible debris but still can't recommend. :(

I decided to try this because the other sunflower hearts I was using seemed to be gone quickly at the feeder and I noticed that the little finches were dropping a lot of pieces because a full seed is rather large for a small finch to each all at once. This food has very small pieces which are more consumable with less falling to the ground during the feeding.

I ordered several bags of the Kaytee Sunflower Hearts & Chips and set up an auto-ship for future delivery. The product that arrived was not as described – NO full hearts – just chips and sunflower grindings. I have now canceled the auto-ship as this is not a usable product with my feeders. My shipment seems to be the waste of another product line. I will not purchase again.

Bought 24 lbs of birdseed that I wish I knew was ground too small for most feeders!!! 3 bags at 8 lbs each. Now I know why the price was better!! Not too happy with this! I've pictured my spoiled birds being disappointed with skimpy pickins in their feeder!
