## Description

Wagner's Safflower Seed - Cardinals love it, most squirrels don’t. Wagner's Safflower Seed is a great way to attract the birds you want - Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmice, Grosbeaks - and discourage the "feeder hogs", like Grackles and Starlings, that keep them away. And best of all, squirrels generally don’t like the bitter taste so they will stay away as well. If you have unwanted birds and squirrels crowding out your songbirds we recommend gradually filling your feeder with Wagner’s Safflower Seed for a period of time, then gradually mixing in your favorite Wagner’s Premium Wild Bird Food. Wagner’s Safflower Seed is truly a premium, high value seed not found in ordinary blends. So give the Cardinals their favorite seed and keep the pests away at the same time, with Wagner’s Safflower Seed. Trust your backyard birds to the experts at Wagner’s.

Review: wild birds came down in flocks when I put it out. They loved it, and I very much enjoyed the show. Cheap entertainment! So far I have not seen any flowers grow from lost seeds, but with all bird seeds (from experience) now I hang the feeder over the corner of the garden where I plant wild flowers. It is a lovely plant, I hope some do grow!
Review: desertcart asks me to rate Wagner's Wild Bird Food on freshness and flavor, but I haven't tasted it and the birds do not voice much of an opinion. Safflower seed has been hard to find anywhere in early 2022, so I was happy to find it here. The price is right, the packaging is good, and the seed has no concerning appearances or smells. The birds here seem to take it just fine. (They were accustomed to Kaytee, but they voiced no complaints about changes in terroir, nose, palate or mouthfeel. It's a good vintage, but I wouldn't lay it down for more than a year.) Squirrels continue to show no interest. Here's the thing about squirrels and other unwanted visitors: your first line of defense is the shape and placement of your feeder. Forget about paying a premium for fancy mechanical devices; I've never found one that squirrels couldn't outsmart. Nevertheless, there is no point in making it easy for them. Don't give them anything that is easy to climb, jump to or hang from. Secondly, avoid seed mixes. Birds' natural behavior is to flick away any seeds that do not meet their particular culinary preferences. This sends excessive amounts of seed to the ground, where it will attract a few ground-feeding birds like mourning doves but also a lot of mammalian varmints that you would probably not welcome. I might occasionally add some nyjer seed to the tray, which does not seem to encourage flicking but does seem to appeal to wrens – an enjoyable and useful species. In the winter I place suet in a separate nearby feeder, which attracts woodpeckers of all sorts, bluebirds(!), thrashers and a few others. When grackles return in the spring, they will quickly decimate the suet, so I trade out that feeder for a hummingbird feeder. Two feeders at a time – that's it. (I've got mulberry trees and juniper trees that attract flocks of cedar waxwings a couple of times a year – a delight!) Third, safflower seed, in contrast to almost every other seed I have tried, does seem to be significantly less interesting to squirrels. I've read that it has a sour taste that mammals do not like but birds do not notice. Cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, finches and whoever is in the neighborhood seem to like it just fine. Fourth, back to the physical feeder. I have found that a design with a narrow (½”) lip on the seed tray, blocked elsewhere by the seed reservoir, keeps larger perching birds (e.g., blackbirds, grackles, starlings, robins, blue jays, etc.) off the feeder. I have also found that adding an ounce or two of fresh seed to the tray each day, placing only a few small rocks in the seed reservoir for stability in the wind, is a useful strategy. Of course the seed sometimes runs out during the day. Intermittent reinforcement has been shown to be the strongest incentive for birds to keeping coming back to see if seed has been added.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does wild bird food by wagner's cause weeds to grow under feeder?**
A: I do not have weeds under my tray feeder.  However, I only put a handful of seeds in the tray feeder once a day.  The birds usually eat all the seed - if seeds drop on the ground they are eaten by the birds.

**Q: Do house sparrows like this seed ? I hope not**
A: Generally, sparrows are not big fans of safflower seed. I mix this with black oil sunflower seed and sunflower hearts and chips, which brings grosbeaks, cardinals, house finches, purple finches, flickers, and woodpeckers. Squirrels are also repelled by safflower seed and leave this feeder alone.

**Q: does it take a long time to be discovered?  Nobody likes this stuff**
A: The song birds like the safflower. I started using it because the blackbirds do not like it, and they were cleaning out my feeders quickly. The cardinals, house and chipping sparrows and several other species like the safflower.

**Q: Want to entice cardinals specifically.  i use this & want to attract more cardinals. what other seeds can i add to attract cardinals specifically?**
A: Cardinals do like sunflower seeds. The problem with these though, they attract squirrels and black birds. I use ONLY safflower seeds in my feeders. Hope this helps you!
