Where do people get their feed from. I try and support our loacal
pet/garden shop, buying large sacks of peanuts and seed, but I'm unhappy
with the seed as it seems to contain a lot of small black seeds which
the birds do not touch. I believe this is white turnip seed, as I've had
turnips appearing all over the garden this year!

I'd really like to buy sacks (ie in bulk), but wonder if it is cost
effective and good value, given the possible weight and delivery
charges.
Thanks

It might not help you much unless you live near Hyde, Cheshire g, but
I found a little back street place which caters for pigeon enthusiasts.
She sells "hulled" Sunflower seed (hearts) for £1.60 /kg.
It's good quality, and with a rapid throughput each week, always fresh.

I sometimes buy a 50lb sack for £33 which cuts it down to about
£1.45/kg.

I know I could get it cheaper online, but I find it handy to pick up
small quantities when passing the place...
