Shipped in mesh type bag, no box, not good! The seed is still good quality, however this time it arrived in a mesh nylon type bag, no box and there was a rip in the top of the bag. Not really thrilled about this as dirt and other debris can get in with the seeds. I hope Shafer reads this review and goes back to the heavy duty bag and boxes it before shipping. When I received the mesh bag, I emptied it into the empty heavy duty bag the seeds were shipped in previously.I have attached two pics, front and back.
Most Birds Seem To Love It — especially the Cardinals! This is the second winter that we’ve used this bird seed and I think that all of the birds in the neighborhood have found our feeder! We are not really “birders” — at least not particularly knowledgeable about the various species, but we do enjoy seeing them feed at our feeder during the cold winter months. At one time during a snowy month last winter we spotted 13 bright red Cardinals waiting their turns at the feeder. What a delight! (And what a photograph I was able to get!)…
Out, out, damned squirrels … ! I switched our backyard seed feeders to Safflower several years ago in order to cut down on some of the unwanted four-legged diners. We haven’t looked back. Most of our medium-sized and small birds love it, as do the entertaining chipmunks who feed on what fallsâor is thrown by those hilarious House Finchesâto the ground.
