Kibbled Sunflower Hearts (1 Viewer)

Just noticed this new product on the C J Wildbirds Food website. They say there's virtually no waste. If that's the case then I'm interested - our visiting finches waste masses and the dropped bits have killed patches of grass below the feeders. Has anyone tried it yet? What do you think?

That sounds interesting, I'll go and check it out. I have the same problem here - dead patches under the feeders, and after it's rained, the stench is horrible too, despite keep moving them round and disenfecting the mud too, it's vile! I have even put huge plant saucers attached to the bottom of the feeders to catch the spillage, but the finches still manage to chuck lots on the floor.

I actually have the catalogue here, it came with the summer edition of Birds last week. The downside is that they are £10 a bag dearer than what I buy now, and the £24 20 kilo bag only last me a fortnight, so will have to work out the pros and cons very carefully I feel. :h?:

I've tried two different products. I have a small decorative feeder in my front yard. It has small holed mesh so I was limited on what I could put in it. I used sunflower hearts (whole shelled sunflowers). There was never a mess, but I think they might have been a little to big for the birds to get out of the holes. I just bought sunflower chips - much smaller pieces but there are also bits of chopped up shell in there too. The new stuff has been out about a week, so we'll see how it goes.

Sounds like the same sort of thing, smudgepot. Let us know how you get on.
