The birds seem to like this bird seed, although I can't personally vouch for the "flavor". The squirrels and chipmunks also seem to like it. And some larger animal, big enough to come in the night, bend the pole holding the bird feeder, and knock it to the ground also seemed to like it. Black bear? Sasquatch? Extra fat squirrel? I didn't see it so I can't say for certain. The seed is a good general mix of seed varieties, and works well in our mid-Atlantic region.

Decided to give this Wagner's Deluxe Blend a try when I ordered my monster kitty's food & supplies. Biggest reason, this states it has 20% more Black Sunflower seed, & it does indeed. This mix has a lot of Black Sunflower seed, as well as a very good blend of everything else. The birds absolutely love it. Every time I fill the platform feeder, the birds empty it within 3 days or so. I mean completely empty down to the last seed. I have all the Chickadees, Nuthatches, Phoebes, Juncos, Cardinals, Jays, Grosbeaks, Finches, Creepers, etc., all the birds are happy as can be with this mix. All this activity though, has now also attracted a few Red Tail Hawks, & Northern Harriers I see flying overhead during the day, & calling out, that I never noticed before. So it has become quite the popular spot now, but the squirrels are on high alert at times lol. I began getting into wildlife photography this past summer, taking LOTS of bird, & wildlife pics, so this fall, about 2 months ago, I decided to setup a Gardman Feeding Station Deluxe, with a platform feeder, a bamboo long tail suet feeder(the Pileated Woodpeckers, as well as the other Woodpeckers, love this long tail suet feeder, as it allows them to use their tail as a prop when feeding on suet, like they normally do in the wild), as well as a regular suet feeder(one with Peanut Butter & one with Wild Berry blend suet cakes), & a mesh tray for holding larger fruit, & nut mix, to feed the birds here all winter long. I've always been a big wildlife nut, & this is just my way to give back, & take care of the birds, that give me so much joy to photograph, & watch each day. Thus far, the birds absolutely love the seed mix from Wagner I have been using. The river is about 100 feet out my door in back, so the feeding station is close by the river/woods, within 30 feet, so we get a LOT of birds. Unfortunately, the squirrels are also quite abundant lol (as well as a few deer even though I am in the city, we have a Doe with a pair of fawns who frequent our yard here in town). The first couple times filling with the Wagner blend, the squirrels had a hay day, issue easily solved though. I began using the mesh wire feeder to put out "Critter Crunch" specifically for the squirrels, basically a mix of corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds, dried fruits, & since, the squirrels no longer bother the birds platform, even though it is only about 2 - 3 feet above their mesh feeder. So if you are having issues with squirrels wiping out your birds seed mix, try offering the squirrels their own option for food. It worked great for me with all the Grey's & Red squirrels we have, it may work for you also. As for this Wagner Deluxe Blend though, I absolutely recommend it. I tend to be a fairly savvy, picky shopper, & it worked great with this product. Every time I go out back to check the feeders now, the area is full of life with the birds eating, & are becoming very accustomed to me bringing them their mix, & don't seem to mind me being near them either taking pics close by(within 10 feet), or filling their feeders. Another quick tip before I end this. When you are filling your feeders, you can use certain sounds to "call" the birds, or alert them to your presence. Try using either a psssh, psssh, psssh type call, or a seep, seep, seep call. Do this while you are filling your feeders, & the birds will become used to it, & become more comfy with you, knowing you are their to feed them, & are not a threat. I learned this from a diff site early this summer, & have been doing it since, with very good results. Many of the black caps, Nuthatches, & Downy Woodpeckers, have become very, very, comfortable with me being in their area. Just be warned, on occasion, some birds may not like this, especially during breeding season. Happy Holidays! Enjoy your birds while you still can. While they are still around to enjoy. Give back to Mother Nature. Birds love this stuff!

Heard that a neighbor had Indigo Buntings, so I asked what they were using in their feeder. They said Wagner’s Greatest Variety so I thought I’d give it a try. They came. Also getting a bunch of cowbirds though. All the birds seem to like it.

My feeder is so active since switching to this food. I would highly recommend. Very little waste seed in this mix.

Seriously, when we switched to this, we were suddenly the main attraction for birds in the neighborhood, and all my neighbors have bird feeders too. They love this stuff. All types of birds too. Won't be buying anything else from now on!

I've tried different brands and mixes for the wild birds here. Some seed mixes were discontinued. Some seed mixes were too messy. But this mix the neighborhood birdies love! I put out 4 cups into 2 feeders daily. Birdies are usually close by waiting for feeders to be filled again. By the end of the day it's all gone. I get it on subscribe and save, but usually place another order in between. Very happy with this product, say the birdies.

I especially like the charts on the back of the package that shows what birds like it, so I could match it to the birds here.

The second I put up that feed it was immediate. They love it!
