CountryMax Safflower Seeds 10 lb - Premium Cardinal Bird Seed for Outside Feeders, Medium Bag of Wild Bird Feed

Excellent! Superbly packed in a secure bag inside a secure box. No chance of breakage. Decent price. Very clean seed no chaff or dust inside. My wild birds and squirrels love it. One thing to note: this is not cracked seed but whole hulled seed. If you have very small birds like finches and wrens, it helps to break up the seed a bit inside a Cuisinart Chopper. A few zaps and done. Tiny birds appreciate the smaller bites. Leave the rest of the seed intact for doves, towhees, orioles, squirrels, etc. If you buy already cracked seed, it is very messy with heavy residue that sticks to the bottom of your feeder trays. I find that White Proso Millet and hulled Sunflower seeds is all I need for my wild birds. I use a large flat shallow wood tray on brackets on the fence. On this tray I place Chick Feeder Trays from Amazon. This is filled with millet, then sunflower seeds. The birds have to stick their heads into it to feed, eliminating fighting, scratching, and seeds flying around. I place some shallow bowls of cracked seeds nearby for tiny birds. Some bowls of nuts for squirrels far from the birds - walnuts, almonds, peanuts in shell, and sunflower separately. All animals happy, no spillage or frustration from denying any hungry animal any food. I have fat, glossy squirrels, and very healthy singing birds around me. The food chain expands too, with hawks hunting excess birds. I recommend this product. I really love their packaging! No stringy plastic bits falling into the seed when opening bag, just clean strong paper I can recycle.

I am beyond impressed with the CountryMax Sunflower Chips. It’s rare to find a product that hits every mark, but this one certainly does. Here’s why it’s become a staple in my yard: Convenience is King: Being able to skip the heavy lifting at the store and have this delivered right to my door, on time, is worth its weight in gold. Pristine Quality: The chips are incredibly clean and dry. There’s no dusty filler or debris, just high-quality hearts that keep the feeding station looking tidy. Worry-Free Storage: I was thrilled to find zero bugs in the bag. It’s clear that CountryMax takes their storage and packaging standards seriously. Reliable Shipping: My order arrived exactly on time, which is a huge plus when you have a hungry backyard crew waiting! The Ultimate Crowd-Pleaser: Most importantly, the local wildlife is obsessed. Both the birds and the squirrels dive right in—it’s easily the most popular spot in the garden right now. If you’re looking for a mess-free, high-energy treat for your backyard visitors, I can’t recommend these enough. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

This is great, high quality seed! Unlike other brands I've bought, it doesn't contain branches or other debris. The safflower seeds have deterred grackles, starlings and squirrels, and has kept several cardinal and finch families VERY happy. They queue up for the seed. My only watch out is that seeds don't come in a clear, plastic bag as pictured, but rather a brown paper material that's not as durable.

Once the birds started polishing off 25 lbs in under a week, I knew it was time to step up to 50 lb bags. My previous brand didn't go above 25 lbs, so after some searching, I landed on this brand because of the price and the positive reviews. They weren't kidding about either the clean seed or the large kernels! I love how there is no debris, just the seed I paid for. The seed smells fresh as well. From what I can tell, the birds love the taste because they keep coming back for more! I decided to try the medium chips for the next round since goldfinches make up a large portion of my clientele. I received the chips today and put out a mix of them and the coarse hearts. If the birds like the mix, I will keep both on hand for the varying sizes of birds. Update 1/27/26 & Review of Medium Sunflower Chips: It took the birds very little time to demolish the entire 50 pound bag of coarse hearts. So far, the response has been the same for the medium sunflower chips, they've almost finished this bag too! I ran out of the hearts before the next bag of sunflower hearts is due to arrive, so I've only had chips to put out. All sizes of birds swarm the feeders for the chips as well as the hearts. The smaller birds eagerly eat either size, but they don't drop nearly as much of the chips to take their bites (to the point I've had to start actually putting out food for the ground feeders). The larger birds don't seem to mind the smaller pieces, as they continue to show up in full force. I will still put out a mix of whole kernels and chips so that the ground feeders will get their fair share from the finches dropping food to them, while some of the chickadees and titmice choose to perch at the feeders for the chips instead of flying in and out quickly with one seed. At the end of the day, everything gets eaten, nothing goes to waste.

Great Response Time, Great Product! They attract every bird around. We have gold finches, house finches, cardinals, tufted titmouses, chick-a-dees, red wings, blue birds, indigo blue buntings, and many more. We’ve ordered the 50 lb bags multiple times. Each time the order comes at least two days early. Better price than I could get locally.

RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR, BIRDS LOVE IT. ORDER "COURSE" TO GET WHOLE SEEDS. GREAT PRODUCT. SAYS "DELIVERY EXPECTED THURSDAY" BUT ALWAYS COMES ABOUT TWO DAYS EARLIER SO USUALLY A 3 DAY DELIVERY WINDOW. BEEN BUYING FOR BIRDS FOR 3 YEARS, NEVER WROTE A REVIEW. THEY JUST ASKED FOR ONE AND THEY DESERVE ONE!

Product is getting to expensive

The best quality and value! No tiny chips, no dust, just seed! Can’t beat the price, especially if you buy the 50lb bag. I had questions about the product and customer service could not have been better. Quick response, patient, and very helpful.
