I had been using the “big store” brand of cheap seed for 1 1/2 years — the same bag! I only saw maybe 1 bird in 2 weeks. On a recent visit to your store, I explained my problem to one of your associates. She showed me the seed that I had been using and explained that the birds only like a small portion of the contents. She suggested the “Prescott no-waste” seed and I tried a gallon. It took 4 days for the birds to realize that I had replaced their food. But from then on I have had up to 20 birds at any given time eating, fighting for a space, or waiting on the hanger for food! Thank you for a great product!
