Table mix extra bird seed

4.0 out of 5

Excellent food everyone in my garden Loves this mix, from a large range of birds and the squirrels like it too, my tiny birds such as robins get their fair share as I put it in the terracotta feeder only little ones fit in there thank you RSPB.

I’ve just got my bird table collection together having ordered loads of food and feeders from you. Everything is popular, especially the meal worms! BUT I agree with others - the flat yellow bits of maize, corn or whatever they are just don’t get eaten. There’s a huge pile scattered all round the ground feeders where the pigeons feed, and other birds given half the chance, but they are obviously very offended by these bits of grain as they must pick them up and remove them from the other seed, leaving a pile all round my garden. Even the other birds are leaving them. So do I go through the whole 5.5kg bag and remove them 😱 or do I just pick up after they’ve been rejected?! What a pain!

Have bought this item a number of times before however the most recent batch leaves a fair amount of waste. The wheat in particular is always left and is thrown to the crows and pheasants. I hope that the next batch is better!!

Quite the bird party goes on in the garden when we put this out. Flocks of finches arrive to tidy it away, as well as some cheeky collared doves who sit on it to stop anyone else eating it. The flakes do get eaten now as the rooks have learned to dip them in water to soften them

I bought this instead of the usual (cheaper) mix because I thought it would have extra nutritional value, but as a few others have said, the birds ignore the 'cornflakey' bits. They will not eat them no matter how cold it gets so I shall revert to the cheaper mix next time. Wish I had read all the reviews first!

Birds love it & eat every last bit, no mess left to clear up. Have it on the bird table & on the ground to suit different birds. Thoroughly recommend.

The table mix extra food is incredibly popular with the birds in my garden, beating out even the sunflower hearts and buggy nibbles. Putting this food out on the bird table lures the big birds to it, allowing the tits and sparrows a chance at the seed feeders. The most regular customers are wood pigeons, collared doves, and the fattest squirrel in the world (I have long since given up trying to stop him/her from snacking on my bird food), but sparrows, tits and robins will also indulge when the big birds give them a look-in. Unlike some other mixes, the birds eat all the different types of food included in the mix. Highly recommended.

A various number of different birds tried this mix

The food is gone in no time so I assume the birds love this mix.

I tried this for a change after buying from a different supplier for years. It was cheaper there, but there was always some left, mainly wheat. This has been excellent. Is clean and there is never anything left. A thumbs up from the birds.

This was the first large bag of food & since using have found that the volume & variety of birds visiting my table has gone through the roof. Ive had up to 8 starlings on the table at once. A family of robins, collared doves, feral pigeons magpies a song thrush &many smaller birds that are so fast as to defy recognition, but many more birds since using this mix. Will definitely be buying this again.

The birds that visit our garden cannot get enough of this! When using previous mixes we were aware of the oat filler being left behind on the bird table & only eaten when there was little else left. No so with this mix, the birds are clearing the bird table on a daily basis. We also sprinkle a handful on the ground every day & our Dunnocks, Blackbirds & Robin soon clear it from there too.

This feed has proved very popular with the birds in my garden. Great for blackbirds, collared doves and the like. The great tits and blue tits seem to enjoy this mix very much, they mostly went for the peanuts and suit balls but are feasting on this mix. The small seed (I think is the millet), is the last to go but it does get eaten.

Over the years I have tried a variety of mixes for the birds and can honestly say this is one of the best. There's something for all the birds and I have found that the great tits and blue tits who normally stick to the peanuts and suet balls have also been at the table.

I read the other two reviews, after I purchased the seed. I got one of the table mix, which I use anyway, plus tried the table mix extra. For me both products are extremely well received here in Mid Wales. I will however, be buying the table mix extra, as it has just that bit more. Both the mixes are finished completely when I put them out. EVERYONE GETS SOMETHING. I have learnt time and time again, that cheaper foods are false economy. So I now buy only that which I know will be received well, and in that way the food effectively goes further, and I don't have to use twice as much as I do with cheap filler bird food. For me I have to say this food is a success, and to be honest have never had a problem ever with RSPB bird food.

We ordered this mix because of the special offer but really it makes so much mess in the garden that we shan't buy any more, ever.
The birds completely ignore the flaked whatever (but the dogs love it if they can get out there!), so it doesn't rate very highly, we're afraid.

We have been using the table mix for some time and the birds do love it, but when the table mix extra came out we thought we would see if it really deserved the extra bit of it's name...I am glad to say the birds are most definately enjoying their Table seed extra, the only problem is they are galloping through it quicker than they did the table mix, if birds can gallop, and what's more they seem to be telling their friends, as we have even more birds turning up...we are currently playing host to five Robins!! I think the birds would give their thumbs up, if they could!

Sadly our birds don't seem to like this as much as the usual mix. They ignored the flakes in it completely, will be sticking to the old formula!
