agree with BUZz
on the safflower seed
but you want to go get HULLED seed blend at a wild birds unlimited
outlet if you have one near by... as its allot fresher
kaytee is also a good quality brand
otherwise go to a feed store...and see what they have
stuff at: job lot, k mart ,walmart ect is old and usually a cheap quality....never BUY a huge bag of blended seed that has MILLET in it because its a scam BIGTIME and the worst seed imaginable
don't buy seed sight unseen where you cant see thru the bag
unless you trust the brand... noticing how much shake or broken down seed "dust" also is an indicator of seed age and quality
the higher quality seed is denser meaning less seed HULLS taking up space inside the feeder ... and they don't have to shell it
it's CHRISTMAS so reward them with something higher quality
ESPECIALLY since we are in extremely cold temperatures....
Always amazes me when i see a NUTHATCH t#^^^^^&g saflower and sunflower seeds up underneath roof shingles as a secret stash only that particular bird will remember
