As an amateur bird watcher, I had no idea that I could feed certain birds. I live in Hawaii and have an abundance of birds but the cardinals are seldomly seen and I have a fondness for them. I purchased the cardinal feed and its magical. The doves and minahs are not very interested but the cardinals definitely are. I highly recommend!!
I refill the suet feeder and less than 24 hours later it is empty again.
I like the quality of the bird seed, the convenience, the letter that comes with each box and the environmentally packaged box. A variety of birds like the sunflower chips year round and this is what I order now.
I got a variety of birds. They seemed to love it. So quality. Hate it’s expensive after shipping added in but a wonderful brand.
It is probably me, but did not think peanuts are needed. I think the peanuts attrack squirrels.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Ed!
In-shell peanuts are actually a favorite of crows, blue jays, and other larger backyard birds. They love the challenge of cracking them open, and it gives them something substantial to carry off and cache.
You’re absolutely right that squirrels enjoy them too. Peanuts are high-value food in the wildlife world. If squirrels are becoming a little too enthusiastic in your yard, feeder placement or a baffle can help, and some folks choose to offer peanuts in a separate feeder just for the larger birds.
I appreciate you giving Corvid Supreme a try. It was designed specifically with jays and crows in mind, and when they discover it, they tend to make it a regular stop.
Happy birdwatching!
This feeder was the seventh type that I added to my setup. I feed at least twenty species of birds, regularly including three species of woodpeckers who also enjoy the suet in the suet holder. Not only do the woodpeckers use this feeder but also, crows, finches, and nuthatches. This was a great addition to my garden. The birds not only amuse me, but my daughter is also growing fond of them. I am leaving for three weeks on vacation, and she is coming to my house to take care of my two dogs. When I was giving her feeding instructions, she said, now show me how to feed the birds. The birdseed is also great. When I first set out my feeders, I did not know how to judge how much I needed. I initially ran out of see from Birdwatchers and purchased another brand from Amazon. My birds refused to eat the Amazon seed, and I ended up throwing it away. Even though it resembled what I had been using, the discerning birds said no thankyou.
My birds are loving the seed.They also are loving the suet that I have purchased several times.Great products.
My birds ate right through this, they loved it!
My boxes of seed and suet from Happy Birdwatchers has made my first winter in New York State a lot more bearable! Moving from SoCal was very difficult as I loved California. But my bird friends are making life happier. I’ve spotted my very first Yellow Bellied Sapsucker! The first day I spotted him, he was clinging to the suet cage for a LONG TIME! Then it looked like he got hiccups! I swear, his tummy was full and he stayed right there for at least 40 minutes and has been back for more everyday. Thanks Susan, Since I broke my leg on moving day, it was super receiving my order delivered to my front door instead of trekking through stores and dragging stuff home while on crutches!
Im sure the birds will enjoy once it is here. still patiently waiting for my delivery.
Thanks for your patience, Hildegard. Your order shipped the next business day, but last week’s ice storm in the Southeast caused USPS network delays. I’ve reached out to you personally with additional details and tracking information. Once it arrives, we hope the birds enjoy it! ~Susan
Nice mix and loved the environmental packaging. Missing was finch blend for me. Maybe ordered the wrong combo.
Our birds have eaten right through our bag of the special winter mix. We would love to buy more!
Nice blend of seed, it goes fast, the birds enjoy it
i have absolutely seen more variety of birds at my feeders since i stopped using store bird seed!
The birds love this winter blend. It is a good way for me to give them suet.
Simply Seeds HappySeed Box
When I opened the box, the bag of seed was ripped open inside of the box and I had never received any order prior to that in that condition. I emptied the box into a container and was able to fill my feeders that were definitely in need of seeds. That was the reason for my one star rating.
Hi Patricia,
I’m so sorry the bag arrived damaged. That can occasionally happen during shipping, but it’s not the experience I want anyone to have, especially since your many previous orders arrived without issue. I always appreciate the chance to fix things like this and would have happily replaced the bag right away. I’ve reached out directly to make this right. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

My birds just loved these suet cakes! They were gone in no time!!
My birds love the suet. They are on the suet feeder consistently. Nice to offer them something fresh and healthy.
Gave these to my partner for Christmas and WOW! We buy quality seed from a bird feed store but your product blew that away. Im seeing more bird species already
Thanks to our monthly Simply Seed HappySeed subscription, my backyard is always buzzing with activity. Cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, mourning doves, and sparrows visit daily, bringing life and color to the long, gray January days here in the Northeast.
Nice looking, feeder is well made and it will stand up in the weather
