Default Wild Bird seed what do you use?

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


I only buy hulled sunflower seed, the birds won't touch the black seed.
I buy it at a local back street source so it won't help you much unless
you're in East Manchester, sorry, and I pay £33 for a 25Kg sack.
It is good quality.

All the other mixes produce a weed garden underneath the feeder, IME.
