Best Bird Seed of 2026

"I've been buying this all year, and the birds absolutely love it. The quality is excellent and the cherry scent is very pleasant. As soon as I refill the feeder, the birds flock in, and the size is ideal for my needs. I usually mix it with extra sunflower seeds, but I wouldn't change a thing about the 10 lb bag—it's just right!"

"I'm not sure what makes this seed mix stand out, but birds in my area rush to my feeder whenever I use it. Even my neighbor, who used to get all the birds, has noticed! Mourning doves, house sparrows, finches, and cardinals all enjoy it, and even squirrels get in on the feast. The variety is great and the feeder is always emptied by nightfall. The birds are happy, and my car is finally safe from their 'gifts'!"

"I can't say how it tastes myself, but the birds near me devour this seed so fast I can barely keep up. I even needed a second job to keep them supplied! When I tried cheaper seed from Walmart, they weren't interested, but this blend attracts cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, and more. The value is solid and I love watching all the different birds, even if it means more refills."

"I never imagined my backyard could become such a lively hub for birds until I tried Wagner's Wild Bird Food. The moment I filled the feeder, my yard turned into a bustling avian gathering spot, attracting everything from cardinals to blue jays. The birds devour every seed, leaving nothing behind, and honestly, it's become my new favorite form of entertainment. The only downside? I feel like I'm now working for the birds—they've made me part of their daily routine!"

"Every time I use this bird seed, it’s clear that the birds can’t get enough of it. Not only do they flock to my feeder, but I’ve even had sunflowers sprout up under the feeder from dropped seeds. I love knowing I’m giving them something they really enjoy."

"I’ve noticed that while the birds in my area are obsessed with the sunflower seeds in this mix, they tend to ignore the small pellets until everything else is gone. I do think the price is a little higher than local options, but when I want the convenience of home delivery, this is my go-to bird food."

"I've ordered this seed about 15 times! Living in Las Vegas, resources for birds are scarce in winter, so this blend has been a lifesaver for my backyard friends. I love that it's a no-waste option with no sunflower shells, so there's less mess and no random plants sprouting. It draws both small birds like finches and sparrows as well as the occasional pigeon. I use a tubular feeder and store the seed in a sealed container to avoid pests—so far, no bugs or rodents. Expect a daily bird frenzy if you use it regularly!"

"This is hands down the best birdseed I've ever bought. You can actually see the fruit, nuts, and seeds right through the bag. It's brought a wide range of beautiful birds to my yard, and even the squirrels and bunnies enjoy it. I love watching all the wildlife from my window. Highly recommend for nature lovers!"

"I've recently switched to the Kaytee Ultimate Birder's Blend to attract cardinals, grosbeaks, and nuthatches, and it's been very successful. The seed variety is great, and I've noticed a visible increase in songbird activity. The mix stays relatively clean with fewer shells on the ground, though there are always a few seeds left uneaten. The package is a bit large, so I recommend having a dedicated storage container. Overall, a solid and affordable choice for attracting birds."

"I've noticed that the sweet birds in my yard really enjoy this safflower seed, while the bully birds and squirrels keep their distance. It took my house sparrows a little while to adjust after being used to black oil sunflower seed, but they're now eating this every day. Doves, finches, and chickadees liked it right away, so it's become a regular purchase for me."

"Since I started using this safflower seed, the squirrels completely ignore my feeder. The seed mostly attracts finches, cardinals, and chickadees, and it's great that squirrels don't bother with it at all. The bag's velcro reseal works well and keeps everything fresh."

"I specifically bought this seed to deter house sparrows from dominating my feeder. After switching, I’ve definitely seen a big drop in sparrow activity—just an occasional stubborn one. Now my house finches have a chance to feed, and I'm really happy with the results!"

"As a retired veteran, I love scattering this seed blend around local parks, and I've noticed there's never any waste—birds eat everything. Since it contains no corn, which birds tend to ignore, they flock to it and leave nothing behind."

"The wild birds in my yard go crazy for this mix. I had to add extra feeders because the variety attracted so many new birds. The quality is fantastic—no empty shells or debris—and I'm so pleased I'm ordering more today."

"I bought this seed because my birds would always pick out the sunflower seeds from other mixes. With this bag, they get all their favorites and wait for me to refill the feeders daily. The ingredients are top-notch, and the bag lasts a long time."

"I've seen a huge increase in bird activity since I started using this bird food. The blend attracts cardinals, chickadees, finches, and sparrows, and the seeds stay fresh thanks to the sturdy, resealable bag. Plus, there’s much less mess under my feeders now."

"After filling my first bird feeder with this food, I was amazed to see blue jays, finches, cardinals, sparrows, and mourning doves visiting my yard almost immediately. The birds love it—I’ve already had to refill the feeder twice in one week!"

"This is a fantastic bird food—I’ve had over 40 birds visit at once! It’s so effective I even bought a second feeder to keep up with demand."

"I've noticed all sorts of wildlife flocking to my yard for these peanuts. Birds, squirrels, and even chipmunks can't get enough—they clean up every last peanut. I like to blend them with birdseed for extra variety. Definitely a hit with my backyard critters!"

"I chose this brand because it's more affordable than others I've tried and I'm already familiar with Kaytee products. The peanuts are fresh and mostly uniform in size, which I appreciate. My only minor complaint is that there are quite a few skins in the bag, and they sometimes blow around or leave stains if not picked up quickly. Otherwise, the animals love them!"

"These shelled peanuts are wildly popular with every visitor to my yard—from blue jays and woodpeckers to squirrels and even the occasional duck or goose. They're always fresh and appealing, and I can barely keep up with demand because they're eaten so quickly. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to attract wildlife!"

"I've been using this wild bird food for several months, and it's turned my yard into a lively spot for all sorts of birds. The variety of species it draws in is fantastic, and the seed quality is always fresh and clean. I love that it's versatile enough for different feeders and the price is absolutely worth it for the bird-watching joy it brings. Supporting a product made in the USA is a bonus, too."

"I've bought this seed mix many times, and it's always a hit with the birds at my feeders. I see juncos, jays, chickadees, and towhees flocking to it, and they never leave any behind. In the colder months, I like to mix in some shelled sunflower seeds for extra nutrition. Definitely my go-to choice for wild birds."

"Every time I refill the feeder with this seed, birds from all over seem to appear instantly—sometimes it's like a scene from a movie! The birds absolutely love it, and I often run out quicker than expected. It's clear this blend is a favorite among my feathered visitors."

"I've been using this bird food for years, and I’m always impressed by how many different birds flock to my feeders. The blend is perfect for Midwest wildlife, and I love that it’s made from high-quality ingredients like sunflower seeds and millet. My feeders empty quickly, which tells me the birds are big fans. Great value for the amount you get—I always recommend it to friends."

"After switching to this blend, my backyard has become a hub of activity—chickadees, finches, cardinals, even a few blue jays visit daily! The mix is fresh and never dusty, and I really appreciate the lack of unnecessary fillers. The resealable bag is super convenient, and the seed stays fresh for weeks. It’s been exciting to see such a vibrant mix of birds each day."

"I’m happy with how affordable this bird food is, and the abundance of sunflower seeds makes it a hit not just with birds, but also with squirrels and other critters. It truly feels like an outdoor buffet! I’ve already bought it multiple times and plan to keep doing so."

"Since I started using this blend, I've noticed far more birds visiting my backyard, and they seem to absolutely love it. The mix of nuts and fruits is of great quality and always fresh thanks to the resealable packaging. It's so enjoyable to watch a variety of birds feast on it, and I feel good knowing they're getting nutritious food."

"I live in South Carolina and I've never spotted so many different birds until I started feeding them this mix. The birds go through it quickly because they enjoy it so much. Even though it's a little pricier, the bird-watching pleasure makes it worthwhile."

"I've tested all sorts of wild bird food brands, but none compare to this fruit and nut blend. Birds of all kinds flock to my feeder and ignore other brands now—it's their clear favorite. Best bird seed I've found by far!"
