Armstrong Wild Bird Food Black Oil Sunflower Bird Seed, 3 Pounds - for Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays and Hairy Woodpeckers - Ideal for Outside Feeders

With bird feeders in front and back for optimal viewing this has been the best bird seed to draw the most birds with the side benefit of having an occasional sunflower grow and bloom. We routinely reorder this even though it is more expensive than big box stores’ seasonal birdseed blends. Worth it to us to have almost no wasted seeds and lots of birds.

All in all, these are good seeds. The birds seem to be attracted to them, and I'm sure they're a good source of food for a good variety of birds. Especially in winter. But they are attracted to the feeder in summer as well. I see routinely see chickadees, nuthatch, bluebirds, 3 types of woodpeckers, gold finch, an occasional bluebird, song sparrows, and freeloader house finches, They are a little messy because the birds often shell them at the feeder, so there are a lot of sunflower seed shells below and around the feeder. That's always the case with in-shell seeds and bird feeders.

This is pretty much the only seed I buy, especially in the winter. It attracts such a wide variety of birds from wrens and sparrows to Cardinals and blue Jay's. They clean out my feeders in record time,lol.

Perfect to help birds (and squirrels!) through cold winters. Good price.

Very little trash. Good quality seed

The seeds are small, the price is good, birds eat it up

The birds like it and I like the size because I don’t run out quickly.

This was great and we would buy it again

Love this product I get about 10-15 cardinals when I put this out

The bag I’d ordered just isn’t large enough for the money paid. Next time I’ll buy at Walmart or Rona.

The birds, chipmunks, and squirrels love this feed. I can’t keep my feeder filled for more than a day without them coming to empty it. I got this because my cats love to watch the birds and squirrels come to eat at the window. Very good quality product that the animals seem to love.

Attracts female cardinals for a while

I can hardly keep the feeder full. Every few days, they've emptied it again. Lots of chickadees and their cousins (nuthatch? finch?). Of course, they're packing up for winter. Bonus: anything that falls to the ground is appreciated by squirrels and mourning doves. So not too much to sweep up.
