This birdseed is perfect! The birds eat it up and are always yelling for more!
My birds absolutely LOVE the suet cakes!! I go thru one every few days. It has attracted a couple new birds that come just for the suet not the seed - flicker and woodpecker. My little ones are really crazy for it too, they eat both the suet and the seed. Have a bunch of pigeons that come for the seed but not the suet, which is good because then one cake wouldn't last more than a day or two.
I could see and hear goldfinches around our yard, but they never visited my bird feeders. Within 2 days of putting the Finch and Bunting Blend in a new feeder they started coming by! Between the house finches and the goldfinches, I’m refilling the feeder quite often - they love this blend!!
I hung my hummingbird feeder out with Susan’s hummingbird nectar for the first time in several years. I haven’t seen a bird at the feeder yet but I did have one checking me out until I unfortunately scared it away. So it’s only a matter of time before they’re at the feeder. I also love the easy pour spout! So easy to use.
Red Bird Family really enjoy Summer Feeding Season Seed Blend. The other birds
eat mostly the light colored seed and leave the dark seed in Finch and Bunting Seed Blend. I have 4 occupied Blue Bird nesting Boxes but have not seen BBs in feeders. Also Morning Doves who enjoy everything.
Thank you, Ric! I love hearing that your cardinals are enjoying the Summer Feeding Season Blend. Cardinals can be pretty loyal customers once they find something they like!
It's wonderful that you have four occupied bluebird boxes. Bluebirds are primarily insect eaters, especially during nesting season when they're feeding hungry nestlings. If you'd like to attract them to your feeding station, mealworms are often hard for bluebirds to resist.
And yes, those mourning doves seem to appreciate just about everything we put out!
Thank you for sharing what's happening in your backyard. 😊
It was beautiful until it ran out of food and the squirrels started eating it
Thank you, David!
That's one of the quirks of a real wooden feeder. The birds love it, and occasionally a squirrel decides it looks pretty appealing too. 😄
We chose cedar because it's a natural, eco-friendly material rather than plastic, but a determined squirrel can be surprisingly persistent once the seed runs out.
Thanks for feeding the birds with us!
I’m very happy with the birdseed. They clean me out every day! My only unhappy thing is how long it takes to arrive. I try to order ahead but I’m about to run out again. If there is anything you can do to improve the shipping time I’d be grateful
Thank you so much, Heather! We're thrilled to hear your birds are loving the Summer Feeding Season Blend and keeping you busy filling feeders. 😊
We ship orders the same day or next business day, so once a package leaves our warehouse, delivery time is in the hands of the carrier. At checkout, you'll see several shipping options in the dropdown, including USPS Ground Advantage, USPS Priority Mail, and UPS Ground. USPS Ground Advantage is the most economical option, but it's also the slowest and occasional carrier delays can happen.
If you're ordering through a HappySeed Box subscription, we're also happy to adjust your delivery frequency so you don't run out between shipments. Just send us a note and we'll help find the right schedule for your hungry birds!
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Happy Birdwatcher.
I started feeding the birds a few years ago, wanting to make their hard lives a bit easier, and found I was instead endlessly battling aggressive birds and squirrels but attracting few birds that I’d hoped for. I thought buying pricy seed blends from the local bird store was the best I could do.
All that changed dramatically when I finally found this wonderful family company, Happy Birdwatcher.
A complete transformation happened here that I wouldn’t have believed had I not seen (and heard) it myself.
I’d always been put off by the chemical smells of the store bought seeds, probably due to being stored in plastic bags, plus seeds that weren’t very fresh. I now realize the poor birds weren’t impressed either.
Everything about this company was immediately different, from their beautiful, sturdy, recyclable packaging to the food and feeders they curate to the true personalized care.
The magic though, was what happened in my backyard within a couple of weeks of switching.
Birds, it turns out, use a much more effective method of getting the word out than our paltry social media. Suddenly, all kinds of colorful birds I'd never seen before began appearing in my yard, visiting my feeders. Within a week or so, the starlings and grackles decided I wasn’t their favorite restaurant to vandalize anymore.
Then I noticed something about the way I felt. I couldn’t pinpoint it until a neighbor remarked that she just felt so serene on my porch. I almost took it as a personal compliment. That was until she said, “you have so many birds, it’s so peaceful here, I just feel better!” The bird songs were acting like a mental reset. Who knew. My Merlin app was bearing this out listening to 14-18 different birds at a time I’d never had here before. Then I read studies that correlate a diverse population of birds and the songs they bring, acting as a signal to our nervous system that we are safe and sound and thriving.
I’m so grateful beyond words to Susan, the creator of this wonderful company, who continually brings me joy through her heartfelt, humor filled letters and Sam, her data scientist husband, who refers to himself as the delivery guy:), both such stellar humans!
Never would I have imagined a birdseed company could change my life, and of course the many birds here, in ways that truly matter.
It took a few days, but my birds now love the mealworms. I have noticed that after it rains and the worms get wet the birds seem to like them better.
Birds are loving the new summer season seed blend. All types I dont normally see are flying in! The birds have tweeted their thanks for Susan’s seed!
Best product for attracting Cardinals (we have a great couple who i see daily) and all typesnof birds. Be prepared for some sunflower shell devris with this mix but not a big deal
Several different bird “families” have taken up residence in my neighborhood and they visit my backyard feeder quite frequently. They really like the summer blend for their baby birds. I’ve noticed mommy birds coming back and forth to my feeders during the day. As a result, the Cardinal and Blue Jay families are growing. So are the families of many smaller species.
My group of House Finches were charming. But after I put out the summer blend, my group of Finches became a mob. They love the new summer blend.
The birds have been very greedy this spring as the drought has affected the seed available everywhere. Your mix of seeds has been accepted with much flourish at my feeders. They love the freshness of this mix.
My brother and and sister in law gifted me with this subscription and our neighborhood birds are so joyful for it. We even had a couple of mallards join us in our backyard!!
My birds love this food and I love the convenience. Very happy with my subscription.
We get so many birds at our feeder that they need to wait their turn in the nearby tree. They love this seed! And we love the very personal service we get from Susan and her team!
Wow! This subscription box is so fun. Since using the amount of birds that are coming to my feeder has increased substantially. I love the one pager that comes with the box that tells me which birds I can expect to see in my area by season/month. The packaging is sustainable and the quality is unmatched. Thank you!
Our birds are literally waiting each morning when it’s time for me to fill the feeder! My favorite part is the customer service. I can email and get an actual response! And a friendly one, at that! Highly recommend!
I got this as a gift for my mother and she absolutely loves it. She's been at her new home in Arkansas for a couple of years now and has at least a dozen bird feeders. She even has one that tells her what birds visit her feeder. She has seen so many new birds since using this seed! She sends me updates daily on the new birds that have visited and she loves sitting outside listening and watching the new visitors. It truly has been a highlight of her day lately and I'm so glad I could give her that gift. In an age where most companies do a lot of talking about how great the product is and how well it works only for the customer to be disappointed, I can say this company is not that! I appreciate this product so much! Also customer service is splendid. I forgot to enter a promo code at checkout and instead of canceling my order and making me redo it they simply refunded the difference and left my order alone. This company is just fantastic!
