When will the Pennington bird seed get back to the quality bird seed it was last year? It's just milo, a handful of black oil sunflower seed and twigs. Definitely not as advertised! Even the classic bag, blue bag, is nothing but milo, a few black oil sunflower seed and lots of twigs!

What percentage of this product is red milo? Red milo is not shown in the picture with ingredients named, however it is the second ingredient listed under 'ingredients'.

Are the mealworms alive?

My wild birds go nuts for this food. Ive never had such a variety.

I used to care for a wild bird in my home named Birdie. When she was able to leave the nest, I wanted to make sure her and her new family had a good quality food

Mealworm mix is great, but....

I was looking for a birdseed blend that included mealworms for bluebirds, and this was a good blend for the price. Unfortunately, the millet and milo in the mix also attracts a ton of house sparrows, grackles, and starlings. So once the bluebirds left, my backyard became home to a flock of sparrows that seem to displace the other "good" birds. I'm switching to something a little more expensive without millet and milo to try to discourage the sparrows from camping in my backyard.

The Birds have arrived

Upon receiving this massive bag of bird seed, my one cat (Milo) started drooling at the mouth because of the prospect of many, MANY birds appearing on our back deck

Upon receiving this massive bag of bird seed, my one cat (Milo) started drooling at the mouth because of the prospect of many, MANY birds appearing on our back deck. Milo was not disappointed. I have a bird feeder in my back yard that sits over mulch (I have a rocked yard, and since this bird seed will sprout all over if I let it, I let it do it's think in the mulch). I can't keep this feeder full. I put in a couple of scoops of this delicious medley, and the birds engulf it instantly and my cat is chuffing at the door as he watches this show. It did bring a wide variety of bird, but I'm not super familiar with what they are? As advertised, there were cardinals, chickadees, and so many house finch/sparrows. I will definitely be purchasing another bag at some point (I still have some left) to keep these birds (and my cat) extremely happy.

I have bought this brand, and birders blend specifically, for years so was happy to see the inclusion of mealworms. But there is a ton of wheat in there (not listed on this description) and way too much milo, so it is not economical at all since there is so much waste left on ground. So many brands now fill blends with high percentage of milo, corn or wheat.

Our birds favorite buffet

We got this big bag of blend seeds to attract a larger variety of birds to our backyard feeders. We are very satisfied with the variety included in this large bag. The size makes it durable so we have less trips to the store to get more. The worms are a delicacy that most birds go after first. The say about the earlier bird getting the worm totally applies here. Birds come in the morning and stay through the day flying around. We have attracted birds that we were not aware live around us but never came before. Great product. We will continue getting this thru Spring and Summer.

I'm so glad this blend caters to both seed and insect eating birds! It's been great for feeding cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, woodpeckers, and more without needing multiple food varieties. The mix of black oil sunflower, safflower, white proso millet, and mealworms is perfect. I was initially concerned that the mealworms might clog my tube-style bird feeders, but that hasn't been an issue at all! The only thing I could suggest is adding a resealable feature to the bag, though it's certainly not a deal-breaker.

Bird approved

It took some time to catch my feathered friends to realize there was food out again. That being said the picture only shows some black birds but on other occasions

It took some time to catch my feathered friends to realize there was food out again. That being said the picture only shows some black birds but on other occasions there were Cardinals (red birds), Sparrows and the doves would eat what seeds fell on the ground. So I feel this is a good product for our beautiful feathered friends.

We have a couple bird feeders - one right outside our dining room window. We stock it on a regular basis with various bird feeds. The wild birds nest in the big tree about 10ft past. They stop at our feeder regularly to get fed and get red up, as Pittsburghers would say!

We have used this for awhile, but the local store we bought from stopped carrying it and I was on the search. Good price at Chewy and delivery was a bonus. This seed brings a variety of birds to our yard.
