I wanted to draw you attention to my order that I just received . The Item that was displayed on your site was not the item that was shipped. It may not be your fault but a correction needs to be made. I ordered the Original Perky-Pet humming bird food and I was sent 4-lbs of the new food substitute that has replaced the original package which is in a White Red and Green bag as displayed on your website. The new bag is a Grey/green and red bag. It is a substandard product and does not work for Hummingbirds. It looses it's color in a day or two . I hope you correct the website to show the product you are sending.

This item was not what is shown on your website and isn't what I ordered. Your website pictures the old packaging for this product. The new packaging also has a new formula which my hummingbirds don't like. I was truly disappointed.

Hummingbirds

The hummingbirds did not care for it. So went back to making my own hummingbird food.
