Morning Song Sunflower Hearts & Chips Wild Bird Food, No Mess Sunflower Seeds for Birds, 5.5-Pound Bag

A really high quality bird seed
I had to quit feeding birds for a few years because they scattered seeds under my feeder, and it attracted voles. The voles would eat the roots of the perennials in my flower garden, but they finally died out or left after they could not scavenge bird seed. I paid a little more for this seed, but it is excellent and attracts a variety of birds. No more waste, and I found a bird feeder on Amazon that does not allow the seeds to fall on the ground, just in case the birds get a little messy while eating.

The birds like it
I was a little worried about this as I’m moving from a nut-based diet to a seed-based diet for the local bird population to accommodate a friend’s allergy. I have a window feeder in a Brooklyn apartment in the kitchen where I work all day. I knew the morning doves would love the change. The nuts are a little big for them so they always look like they’re about to choke on one. This is far more comfortable for them, and therefore far more popular. I’ve gotten an impressive increase in the dove population since I switched. But they just hang around in the feeder not minding the local humans. They’re New York birds. I wasn’t sure the smaller, more skittish birds like the sparrows, titmice, cardinals, and blue jays (granted, blue jays aren’t smaller, but they fit in the skittish population for this) would take to it. They liked the larger peanuts as a quick grab and go treat. Turns out they will grab and go just as readily with a sunflower heart, but they like these seeds so much the titmice and the sparrows will sometimes just hang out and eat right in the feeder. The bluejays are still on the fence about that. The occasional crow will still pop by for a quick treat as well. All in all, the birds seem perfectly happy with these. I’ve even gotten the attention of the occasional woodpecker, who seems to find them tasty.I love that these are shell free and do not make a mess. The less clean up work, the better. I don’t need to remove uneaten seeds at the end of the day, because there are none. I put in a plastic cup full first thing in the morning and the last few are picked clean just before sunset. I’ll likely need to put out more in the summer, as the birds will eat until the sun goes down.About the only thing I would like to see different is that the bag doesn’t reseal. Everything else is perfect. Overall, I’d say these make the birds happy, which makes me happy.

More Birds than ever before
I switched from regular sunflower seeds because the bags always contain trash that clogs up my feeder. I am far beyond happy with these sunflower hearts. Not only am I getting more birds daily, I am also getting Bluebirds and Goldfinches for the first time. I am one happy guy.

Nice Product!
Birds Love it!
