Pennington Recipe Selects Black Oil Sunflower Seed Dry Wild Bird Feed, Bird Food, 40 lb. Bag, 1 Pack

Good product. Great price. The neighborhood birds love it. I like it because it attracts the Cardinals too. After trial and error and several modifications, I built a squirrel-proof hanging feeder and the birds are constantly on it. The squirrels settle for what's on the ground, so it works out. It's also hilarious watching the squirrels fall to the ground when they try, although they have pretty much given up. I go through a 40-pound bag per month, and we love watching the birds enjoy it.

This brand is excellent. The wildlife seems to thoroughly enjoy it. Everyone from the assortment of birds, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks, just to name a few. The only problem that I have is the recent decrease of the amount you get and the price increase. Before the redesign of the bag, it was sold in 50 pound bags the price was $18.94. Now, the bag is 40 pounds and the cost is $21.44. Did the manufacturer think that we, the consumer, wouldn't notice because they redesigned the bag? I understand that prices are increasing on nearly everything, but couldn't they just have increased the cost and left the weight at 50 pounds?
