Switched from cheap seed mix to black oil sunflower and wow, what a difference
I used to just grab whatever seed mix was on sale at the grocery store, but after three months of nothing but house sparrows I swapped to straight black oil sunflower. Within a week I had cardinals, chickadees, and a pair of goldfinches showing up. Anyone else notice a big change when they upgraded their seed?

Yeah man, that's basically the same thing I went through last fall. Once you switch to black oil sunflower the cheap stuff just looks like bird junk food, the real birds know the difference. You'll probably end up with a woodpecker or two once word gets around too.

Never gave black oil sunflower much thought before but you might be right.
