Bird seed

I usually TRY start feeding the birds (really the squirrels) after Holloween and my garden is done for the year othereise i get mice and rats eating my tomatoes... now the garden is done where do you get the best deal on quality bird seed around here?

I bought the 40 lb club bag of seed at Sam's Club. Don't get the cheapest bag, it's mostly garbage and I had tons of blackbirds coming in for it. When I switched to the more expensive club bag with more sunflower seeds and other good stuff, I got more of the smaller songbirds.

Ya unfortunately I don't have sams or Costco anymore

Home Depot for black sunflower seeds. 40# for $22 IIRC.

How's the price compare to murdock's or home depot?

You can try Wardle Feed in Wheat Ridge. I get my quail feed there and they are awesome folks. Give them a call and see. It's a bit out of the way from Littleton, but close to I-70 so you could drop in during your travels.

Get mine from Murdoch's. 40lb bag of black sunflower seeds, normally around $18. Have heard most "store" bought seed is not formulated for our birds and have come to believe it. I'll watch the birds feed and they constantly would throw out seed until they found what they like. The black, not striped, seem to be what doesn't go to waste. By the birds and squirrels alike.

Thank you for posting this. I was considering putting a feeder out now that I have a house and a backyard (no garden yet).

Wild bird center fifty pound bags of black oiled sunflower are on sake now in the Springs. Don't know if you have those stores or not. Good clean seed. We get three types of blue jays, woodpeckers, many other types of birds and bears all winter.

Huh? My woodpeckers don't seem to like the sunflower seeds. But they hammer my suet feeder.
