Wagner's 52023 Black Oil Sunflower Seed Wild Bird Food, 5-Pound Bag

The cardinals, goldfinches, sparrows, cow birds, blue jays and all the other birds that visit us love these sunflower seeds. We have to refill our feeder every two days. High quality seeds packed well so they are fresh. Fortunately, black sunflowers aren't that expensive so these are inexpensive.

These made my feet are the most popular in the backyard. It's phenomenal. I love seeing all the different birds really so grateful for good quality and not charging us so much money we're just trying to help and feed the birds. Thank you for making it accessible for like single moms to do thank you so much of ease of view is perfect. The values great and I just really thank you the birds love it. It brings in all kinds, my Cardinals, especially love the taste.

I’ve had great luck with these black oil sunflower seeds. The birds took to them right away, and I’ve regularly seen cardinals, finches, chickadees, doves, and other visitors stopping by. The squirrels are also big fans, and even the chipmunks seem happy whenever some seeds end up on the ground. One thing I like is that it’s a simple product without a bunch of extra fillers mixed in. The seeds looked fresh when they arrived, and my backyard critters clearly enjoy them because they never stick around for long. They’re easy to use in my feeder, and I’ve noticed a nice variety of wildlife visiting since I started putting them out. My only real con is the mess from the shells underneath the feeder, but honestly that’s pretty much what I expect with black oil sunflower seeds. The wildlife doesn’t seem to mind, and neither do I. Overall, these have become a staple in my yard and I’ll definitely be buying them again.

I’ve been using Wagner’s Black Oil Sunflower seeds for several weeks now, and the bird activity in my yard has noticeably increased. Here is a breakdown of why this specific bag stands out: Seed Quality: The seeds are plump and have a high oil content, which is essential for birds needing high-energy fuel during colder months or nesting seasons. Unlike cheaper "wild bird mixes," this bag isn't filled with "filler" seeds like red milo that birds usually just toss on the ground. Cleanliness: I was impressed by how little "trash" (stems, dust, or empty hulls) was in the bag. You’re getting mostly usable product, which means less mess under the feeder. Bird Variety: Since switching to these, I’ve seen a steady stream of Northern Cardinals, Black-capped Chickadees, and even Tufted Titmice. The shells are thin enough that smaller songbirds have no trouble cracking them open. Packaging: The 20lb bag is sturdy and didn't arrive with any punctures, which is always a risk with heavy shipments. Pro-Tip: If you want to avoid a mess on your patio, pair this with a tray feeder or a "catch" tray. While the birds love the seeds, they will leave the black hulls behind! Final Verdict: A high-quality, single-ingredient seed that attracts the "right" kind of birds without the waste of cheaper mixes. Highly recommended for year-round feeding.

Good seeds for a reasonable price. Nothing spectacular. Not too small, not too large, comfortably in the middle. Birds DO love them.

The birds are big fans! The seeds attract mostly cardinals and chickadees for me. A good mix of sunflower seeds. Not too many shells. Nutritious snack for the birds and easy to deshell. Would recommend.

I can put this out and all the critters stop by. We have cardinals, chicka-dees, blue jays, woodpeckers, Mississippi kites, crows and misc. other birds. The rabbits and squirrels love it too! Well, that was all the evidence I needed to know that it is a good product.

Birds seem to like it, and believe it or not, they are kind of picky! I will buy again.
