Premium White Safflower - 50lb Bag. Attracts Cardinals, Mourning Doves, discourages Squirrels

Been using for a couple of years now and NO BLACKBIRDS!

Good quality seed.

Pretty expensive seeds, but Cardinals, Sparrows, and other birds love it! Crows used to be a nuisance at my feeder because they would just waste seed and make a mess (and scare other birds away) looking for what they wanted in the regular mixed-seed bird seed. I switched to totally safflower, and haven't had a problem with crows or black birds since!

Best value for birders who feed year round. I had 2 Wood Warblers visit this week. First time seeing them here in NE AR since I moved here in 1993. Cardinals , doves, and purple finches can’t get enough. Blackbirds don’t like these except for the pair of redwing black birds who took up nearby residence. I wish sparrows didn’t like these. Would buy again.

I have been feeding safflower seed for many years because the squirrels don't have any interest in it. L ordered from Shafer last time and it was really good quality seed. I should have checked out before I ordered this time. I have ordered from this vendor before, but it was better quality than this. There is a lot of discolored, damaged seed in this batch. I hope it will be okay for the birds and not make them sick. I don't know if it was moldy in the field or what. That being said, I have probably had worse seed, just not recently. Also instead of being in a sturdy paper bag this was in a woven plastic bag closed with a twisted metal wire which just slid off the bag. Not a good seal. Hope it doesn't have any bugs or eggs in it. You can see this seed on top of the previous seed in the plastic container in the photo.

Great quality. Birds adore it. Bag is just the right size.

attracts great doves and all birds

I could not request delivery to the garage as opposed to the front door. The bag is difficult to move. Also, it's still expensive even in bulk. The price used to be lower.
