Wagner's Black Oil Sunflower Seeds (40 lb)
Our Review
If you could only buy one type of seed, this is it. Black oil sunflower seeds are the universal favorite of almost every feeder bird. The thin shells are easy for small birds to crack, and the high fat content keeps birds coming back. We use these in our Squirrel Buster feeder.
Why We Love It
Cardinals, chickadees, finches, nuthatches, woodpeckers — they all love black oil sunflower. It's the most versatile seed you can buy and the foundation of any good feeding station.

Birds This Attracts
Our Tip
Store in a sealed metal container to keep fresh and prevent mice. Scatter some on the ground too — juncos and sparrows will appreciate it.
