Extra Select Less Mess Mix Wild Bird Food, 12.75 kg

This is a superb quality mix for wild birds. It has a high percentage of sunflower hearts and kibbled peanuts and all my wild birds love it from Sparrows to Siskins to Yellowhammers. They queue up in the bushes waiting for a spare space on my numerous feeders. It's a good job that the price is so fair as the birds are making a good attempt at eating me out of house and home with this mix. If there were 6 stars available I'd give this 6.

The birds in my garden seem to enjoy this brand. Supplies of bird seed have been intermittent during the Covid 19 pandemic, presumably due to staff reductions affecting delivery, but are improving now.Lots of different seeds - I have yet to find ANY seed brand, from cheaper to very expensive, which does not result in some seeds being tossed aside - I don't view this as a negative thing or a reflection on the quality of the seed overall, just each species preference.

Used to get fed up at the birds emptying the feeder in minutes with plants that looked like marijuana growing underneath along with other peculiar looking plants after the vermin had eaten what they liked. A bag of this mix lasts many times longer than the others we used to buy.

This seed mix is great for spreading on the ground or on a bird table- house sparrows, black birds, robins and herring gulls loved it and I do like the no-mess, no-germination idea (although I had a lovely bird seed sown stand of blue flax under my feeder last summer from a different seed mix).However, the seed didn't flow freely out of the holes of any of our three feeders of quite different designs (a tall Chapelwood seed feeder, a ceramic ball-shaped feeder and a transparent window feeder) so that I had to keep shaking the seed down and onto the ground to make it available.

Birds cannot get enough

I've been buying this for years. The birds love it and the ground isn't covered in empty kernels. It lasts a lot longer because the birds aren't chucking most of it on the ground. Highly recommended.

Good value for money, although my fussy birds don't seem to like this as much as other mixtures! The pigeons seem to be getting through it though! But the robins, nuthatches, tits etc don't seem so keen. But you get a lot for your money

Expect more mess, more like. Unlike other ' no mess' brands that I've tried, this birdseed has remained in piles around my garden and on my bird table. It's very dusty, full of husks and obviously tastes awful as the birds have refused it, even at minus temps when food has been scarce. I will stick to RSPB in future.
