I usually shop at SS or Tractor Supply; occasionally there will be a special on 40-50# bags-$22.00-25.00. Yesterday a 40# bag cost 24.99.
I just stick w/black oil sunflower seeds; the wild bird food mixed seed is a waste and ends up as "seed-soup." I also buy a Chickadee mix-dried fruit, nuts and black oil seeds...squirrels, chipmunks and a visiting fox like that mix too.
Just 4 years ago at Tractor Supply I got a "managers special" on 50# bags (Morning Star) of black oil seeds for $8.99 ea.!

I use black oil sunflower seeds and have attracted quite a variety of birds. Alot also depends on the feeder. I found this feeder really works, and squirrels cannot get into it! The RollerFeeder Bird Feeders, Patented Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder.
They are kind of expensive, but I went through too many feeders that the squirrels completely destroyed.

this looks like just the thing I need! I will definitely be sending this information to my sister and mother in law too! I will start replacing my broken to pieces feeders with these. Just this morning I noticed one of my feeders on the ground. Thank you very much!

Morningstar is the brand of food that Sam's used to sell - I loved it! The smaller bags they have at the grocery stores (some not many of this brand) are SO expensive! I am more of a one stop shop type of girl for seed and usually don't like to have to create my own concoction but I guess I might have to. Thanks!

They are a small family owned business, have great customer service and knowledgeable employees that seem like they truly love talking to you about any questions you may have. They run great specials on bird seed and we usually order it and they call us when it's in the store. Great place to browse too. Not the cheapest but love to support a local business.

Fed Ex Shipment update says my roller feeder was delivered today. Can't WAIT to try it out! If it is as good as it seems to be - Christmas Presents for my MIL & SIL! I feel a little bad for the deer though. I know with the drought they are hungry and thirsty. I plan on putting a bucket of water out in the yard for them this evening. They eat up my bird seed but I spray my flowers/plants/trees with Liquid Fence so they aren't eating up what I've worked hard to grow! I wish they would eat more of the weeds and such growing up in the woods and yard though! So picky they are!

I'll let you know about the feeder after I've been able to try it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

You're right about Wild Bird Lovers. They sell the very best quality and they do care about their customers.

They just put a new feeder on the market this week. It's called the "No Bully" bird feeder and it's just for the small birds. Grackles, starlings and squirrels can't eat from the seed reservoir. Dee's Wild Bird Lovers | Waldorf, Md 20601
They just launched a new web site too. http://www.wildbirdlovers.net/

That's where they publish a monthly newsletter and review products.

Their new "Caption Contest" is hilarious.
