Default Bird Feed Prices

Having run out of sunflower hearts, I decided to have a trawl
through the internet to see how much they cost.
Looking for a 25Kg bag I found that the variation in cost and
sizes available was amazing. Comparing around 15 suppliers,
taking their largest/nearest to 25Kg size the actual cost/Kg
varied from around 95p to £2.35 per Kg. Needless to say, RSPB
were the worst, and their cost that I calculated, did not
include delivery!

How do companies get away with charging so much, or is it our
fault for just going to our usual supplier!


I don't buy big bags. I do small ones at wilkinsons. I mix their canary
seed with sunflower hearts. It's very successful here.
