I went to the Wild Bird Center at the Best Buy shopping center about 4 years ago and bought a bird feeder and a 16 pound bag of Safflower Seed. Why Safflower, squirrels and black birds don't like it.
We've added 2 additional feeders since then, and have Cardinals, Thrashers, Mocking Birds, Finches and Doves constantly in our yard. I found myself going to the Wild Bird Center weekly, they have since gone out of business.
I went to the new Lowes at Trailwinds when they opened 3 years ago last month, and they had Safflower Seed in 7 pound bags for $10, however on my next trip they were sold out and took months to restock.
This is when I walked in Sparr almost 3 years ago. They have Shafer Seed Co 25 pound bags of Safflower Seed for $30. With a veterans discount if only $27 and I've been buying about 2 bags a month for close to 3 years now. I only hope they stay in business. If you go to the Traverse Shopping Center or the new Brownwood Medical Center and Hotel, it's right across the street (SR 44), cross the light at Powell Rd.
