Morning Song Squirrel & Backyard Wildlife Wild Bird Food, 10-lb bag

I live next to a large city park, and there is a family of squirrels who live in the trees along the property line. While I've successfully squirrel-proofed my hanging bird feeders, they've been drinking from my deck rail-mounted bird bath. My cats absolutely love this, so I decided I should offer the squirrels food too, especially if they're going to be on the deck anyway. I used to have a neighbor who fed the squirrels regularly until he passed away, so I figure it can't do much harm if I start feeding them myself. I picked this mix mostly for the price; it's not the cheapest squirrel-targeted feed Chewy sells, but it's still quite affordable. The squirrels seem to like it; if I throw it on the ground, they eat every morsel. I put it in a window-mounted platform feeder near the bird bath, but so far they have been too intimidated by the cats to eat from it. This week, a Steller's Jay, one of my favorite birds, has started eating at the feeder when the cats are napping. It LOVES the corn. This morning I watched it gobble nearly a dozen pieces. I'm so excited to have this beautiful bird right outside my window! That all said, I can't give it five stars. There's debris in the bag -- a short twig, a couple corncob ends, and a lot of dust -- and hardly any peanuts, like there might be 20 peanuts in the entire 10 lb bag, which seems really sparse. I'm going to try at least one other squirrel food mix before I buy this one again.

It is mostly corn. It has large kernels. My wild critters are not eating it.
