Pennington Recipe Selects Thistle Seed, Dry Wild Bird Feed and Seed, 5 lb. Bag, 1 Pack

Purchased new Finch feeders from Walmart, and on the instructions it said birds might take about 3 weeks to notice the feeders. This was good knowing, because it did take a few weeks before the finches discovered the 2 feeders hanging off of a double hook. This purchase of 3 bags of seeds is a refill of those feeders after the birds wised up and started feeding. We have 4 or 5 finches at the feeders almost all the time every day. They seem to love the seeds, often fighting for a place at the feeder. Seeds that have fallen to the ground have not sprouted, which is good, and the new finch babies are growing up with great nutrition. I am so glad that Walmart carries both the feeders and the replacement seeds and that we are contributing good health and vitality to the birds in our environment, thanks to Walmart. And now. . . I'm buying more seeds, of course. The birds love them!

From a feed store this is almost $30. Seeking a cheaper alternative for the winter birds we tried this. Order by itself to prevent bag punctures. This seed is not black or as oily as some but the birds do like it.
