I will continue to buy this food as it is cleaner than other food. So much bird food falls on the ground and grows which is a pain to remove, so I got this and it is not so messy. Highly recommend.

Finches love it

I really like this bird food because it is just sunflower seeds and Nyjer and no unknown fillers! The finches love it, but so do woodpeckers and white-breasted

The birds don't seem to like it.

Ordinarily, my wild birds--finches, towhees, sparrows--go wild and ream out the vertical bird feeder by noon, but --and although I have purchased this Kaytee brand

Ordinarily, my wild birds--finches, towhees, sparrows--go wild and ream out the vertical bird feeder by noon, but --and although I have purchased this Kaytee brand before--the same birds are very ginger about it--with 3/4s of them gone--somewhere else. This is a first.

Less seed hulls everywhere, Less waste!

I've been purchasing straight thistle seed for my finch feeders for years, but there's always tons of hull left on the ground (I use it for mulch), but also lots and lots of wasted whole seed. I tried Kaytee Waste Free and it's true- there was far less waste so I didn't have to worry about the daily piles of mulch, or fill the feeders as often. Though it seems the thistle seed is too tiny to hull, because it's mixed in with the hulled sunflower seeds (which the finches also seem to love), the result was much less hulls on the ground!
