Lyric Fine Tunes No Waste Mix Wild Bird Food

I've tried at least a dozen different types of seed mixes during this past year. I just started feeding wild birds, and it turned out to be some expensive lessons with different feeders and seed mixes that the birds here actually like. This "Lyric Fine Tunes No Waste Seed Mix" has become my favorite, and the birds seem to agree. This product does not cause any of the tube feeder clogging issues I had with all of the other brands (majority of them use big peanuts & fruit pieces). Lyric Fine Tunes is nicely chopped into small pieces so both large, & small birds, gobble it up easily from any sized tube feeders I've tried. It smells very fresh, too.

I've tried many brands of birdseed over the years and Lyric Waste Free is by far my favorite. It's quality seed without any additives (Yes, some brands add preservatives and other additives) or cheap filler seed, which ends up sprouting all over the garden underneath the feeders. I like all their waste free versions but the Fine Tunes seems to be the most widely received by all the different birds that come to my feeders. It also "fits" the best in my squirrel proof feeders. I reserve the Delight and Woodpecker (which contain larger seeds) for the open platform style feeders and fill more sparingly since the squirrels have free access to seed in that style feeder. BEST BIRDSEED EVER!

Because there are not a whole lot of fillers (no corn, some millet) there really is no waste. In fact, since switching over we've gotten dozens more song birds than with our previous feed which we used for over a year. One drawback, because it's relatively expensive I also supplement with sunflower hearts and chips to make it last longer.

I would eat this - smells like fresh chopped nuts every time I open the bag. All the birds and squirrels love it. I am overrun with finches, but when they back off the Cardinals, bluebirds and tufted titmice all get a chance to enjoy. I sprinkle it along the railings of the deck and watch them chow down. Not a speck is ever left in the morning!

Lots of peanuts in this mix, very little millet. We scatter some on the patio for the ground feeders, such as juncos and cardinals, and they don't like it much. It does bring in squirrels, though. I wouldn't buy it again.

Hi I have purchased this multiple times. Lately I am seeing a pile of millet left behind by my ground feeder birds. I took a closer look at the feed and was surprised that surrounded by the nut pieces and sunflower was alot of millet, just surprised. I consider it a premium bird food.

I also noticed the abundance of 'no waste' millet sitting wasted on my patio. One merchant told me with so many people staying home many are newly discovering the joy of backyard birds. Is this Lyric's way of stretching inventory? While possibly 'cutting' the product with cheaper seed, the price also did not drop last fall as it usually does when many bird feeders go in and demand goes down. 'No Waste' is expensive, but worth it when it's not wasted. (6 months ago I would have given this product a 5 star rating)

I have used this seed three times now and am so impressed with all the birds I get at our feeder. There is no waste in the feed and always seems fresh. It's a good combination although I add more safflower seed to it to keep the black birds at bay. You won't be disappointed, I am loving watching my variety of birds!

I noticed this particular blend stayed in the feeders longer than others I have tried. I did not reorder and tried a different brand the next time which did seem to go over much better with my flock!

I have never bought bird seed that smells as fresh as this does. It makes me want to eat a handful myself. We attracted birds within 36 hours and they are faithful daily visitors now.
