This will always feature on my shoppoing list for bird food - our local population just loves this food and I will never have to worry that it's not being eaten! I should add that this attracts carrion crows among all of the others mentioned, and I suspect that this is mainly why I get next to no magpies!! A really good, reasonably priced, food.

This is excellent value compared to the cost of smaller bags and I am getting through loads at this time of year, in my small urban garden. The birds absolutely love these. . When I raise the kitchen blind early in the morning, more often than not the robin(s) and blackbird(s) are on the wall outside waiting for me to go out.
I do have some of these in a caged feeder, but the above-mentioned, plus the starlings and dunnocks prefer to take them from the ground. They fill their beaks and fly off, so I know that lots of little nestlings are being well fed. I also put out dried mealworms - the combination keeps my garden full of birds.
Downside - I caught a blasted cat eating some the other day. And I can't keep the magpie away. By HAZEL, on 3 May 2012
