Hi El Annie
One of the oldest and most established is Haith's at Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire, or may be thats Humberside, not sure. They are involved with Bird Foods Standards Association. Or you might find it worth contacting a local supplier. Do not be afraid to ask them if they are BSA registered. This should ensure quality. Also do not be afraid to ask for discount. If they will match or better the likes of Haith's they want your custom. If they will not then take your custom elsewhere!
RSPB are too expensive, C J Wildbird foods was accused of scaremongering a couple of years ago to line his own pocket. Not too sure how true this was but he was asked to resign from BSA as a result. So I certainly would not deal with either.
There are quite a few other companies out there now after your business, most of them produce catalogues or price lists of some description.
Happy hunting and good luck!

Phew..............
Hi burhinus and all contributers etc, my brother found a local supplier who does black sun flower seeds for 50p a kilo, we are just trying them out now, quality looks good although they are quite small but I don't suppose that matters really, if birdies like them then will purchase in bulk!!
