Wagner's Four Season 100% Black Oil Sunflower Seed Wild Bird Food, 20-lb bag

There was a good portion of some round seed in with the sunflower seed that looked like soy bean. Contacted company was told to send pics because they said soy bean is not in their factories so they could identify the seed. Sent pics never heard anything else completely overlooking the initial problem of the it not being 100% sunflower seed as advertised. Guesstimating I would say the mystery seed made up 15% of weight. Wont buy again

Bought this for the birds and have since discovered how many gray squirrel babies we have in our neighborhood! The blackbirds and grackles love it but I found 5 squirrels dining this morning. They are all rather small so they may be from one litter. Our dog loves barking at them so I have quite a comedy going on in the morning, now. I keep hoping that our cardinals will come back soon.

Picking up 20 lbs of bird sees from the shelf to the car to the house is hard for an older person, but I love the birds haanging about in my back yard. I use about 2 lbs a day, so having 80 lbs delivered was wonderful. Price about half of what I was paying.

Birds love the seeds. Really nice to have you them delivered to my door. The seeds do have more snipets of dried vegetation scattered throughout than what would be the highest quality, so 4 not 5.

I was able to please both my birds and squirrels! Everyone is happy and I’m happier because I don’t have to drive to the pet store to pick it up then lug it home! Thanks Chewy

I recently hung a bird feeder and filled it with Lyric black oil sunflower seeds. I had cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees, and other species feeding all day. I bought Wagner’s black oil sunflower seeds from Chewy and filled the feeder with it when I ran out, and within 5 days there are no birds at my feeder. As soon as I opened the bag I could see that there were other things in the Wagner’s bag in addition to the seeds and that the seeds were not as dark as the other brand. I am driving to the store to buy the Lyric as chewy doesn’t carry it.

I feed my squirrels this seed and they love it. I gave them their own feeder so the would stop raiding the bird feeder and throwing out everything but the sunflower seeds.

I'm no songbird expert (yet) but after a relatively few years of observation, and basic research I realized practically ALL of the "millet" and other "filler" seed in the typical bird seed mix winds up UNEATEN (by birds... squirrels still go or it) and rotting either in the feeder or on the ground. Translation - total waste of money. As it turns out - 99% of the birds you'd want to attract to a feeder are going to favor Black Oil Sunflower seed over every other type of seed in a "mix" - the one possible exception is the Finch family, whose favorite is Thistle seeds (but they will also eat black oil sunflower seed).

YMMV depending where you live - but for us, Wagner beats everything else including bulk from the local Farm/Garden store. We used to buy it at the big orange Box store but Chewy's price is a little lower, AND they bring it to me! Note that "clean" is not 'perfect' - you'll find a few twigs and etc. in the bag, but I bet it's not 1/100 of 1% of the weight. You're paying for and getting good seed from Wagner. But I also grow Mammoth sunflowers around my property and let them dry in-place for the birds.. those also have twigs LOL. Anyway - Black Oil Sunflower seed is what they want - so just buy this, maybe feed a little less than of the "cheap" mix and you'll come out even financially - it's Win-Win for both you and your birds. … more

This seed is clean and economical, approximately $.50 per lb.The cardinals love this seed; they empty the feeders once a day. My order was delivered free in one day!!!!

This seed is clean, dry, of a consistent texture, and it smells good! Today I filled a feeder with it for the first time, and the birds are a little distrustful of the change. Their previous food was a mixture of seeds and fruit and was not nearly as high quality as these oil sunflower seeds. The mix often formed sticky clumps that blocked access to the rest, and was susceptible to mold in wet weather. This seed flows smoothly and fills the trays evenly. I will check back when the birds habe given their verdict. The difference in wuality is obvious, and since the birds dug through the previous mix, picking put the sunflower seeds and flinging out the undesirable ingredients, I have high This seed is clean, dry, of a consistent texture, and it smells good!
