I find mine seem to prefer the sunflower seed whole rather than
dehulled, they seem to enjoy removing the shell. That said it's pretty
quiet of late anyhow.

How do you find your seed mixes?

I'm also looking for decent bulk supplies say 20/25kg at a time. Any
recommendations? thnx


If you Google entering "wild bird seed bulk" you'll get a tremendous
range of choice.


Yes I do appreciate this. My thoughts were on recommendations from
those who buy a seed brand and it is all scoffed up. Normal wild bird
mix is fine for us here, but some contain a lot more of the cheap
wheat etc than others. Be nice to find a succesful good quality brand
at a good price.

We just seem to have blackbird/chaffinch/hedge
sparrow/dove/pigeon/woodpecker with occasional tit visitors so a
normal mix is fine as we cant really affored to specialise.

thnx to all.
