I bought sunflower seeds. There was no mention on your website that the product had been FOULED with additives like VEGETABLE OIl that I refuse to eat and will not feed to the birds as it's extremely unhealthy. It also has added vita.in A, vitamin D3, and potassium iodine. This is a garbage product that will either be returned if I can fund a return option, or all 40 pounds will be thrown in the trash as the garbage it is. Disgusted.

PRICE was better than anywhere else I checked. Also brand, have used this brand for years, birds love it. Every morning the feeders are filled and overfilled with Dove. When the Dove have their fill then the small birds come in to eat what is left.

Very good for the price...

When you consider to cost of other 40 lb bags of the same seed, this is a steal. Yes, there is some sunflower debris in with the seeds, along with some random corn kernels, but all in all it is a VERY small percentage and does not clog up any of my feeders. Side note - With all the displaced animals and birds here in Big Bear, CA from all the fires (last and this year), I felt a need to do what I could to help them recover and relocate - and the "food chain" in general. However, I can't break the bank doing so - as such this seed fits the bill PERFECTLY. The birds all love it and plow though it quickly. We have hundreds of different feeder and water bowl visitors every single day and they 100% appreciate the food. I have other seeds and bugs I add to the mix for some variety, but the bulk of it is this Black Oil Sunflower Seed. If the price stays stable, you can't beat it.

The picture doesn’t show it as much but there are a lot of sunflower stalk pieces in the bag and a few other seeds and corn. If I had a small tube feeder this would not be good. My feeder is larger so I most of the sticks can be pulled out by me or the birds.

But the delivery was not. Suppose to bring it up to house, not leave it on street. I gave them gate code 4565#...One male driver just throws boxes around denting cans and doesn't follow instructions to deliver up to house. The other driver, an African-American woman DOES deliver up to house and my wife says she is very nice!

Within seconds of filling the feeders and giving the birds clean water I am bombarded with birds from everywhere. They swoop in, all breeds, doves, cow birds, blue birds, woodpeckers, cardinals, blue jays, brown thatchers, finches, black birds, some red some yellow winged. I know the bird community is screaming to all within hearing distance “dinner is serviced”!! I love it! If I happen to leave the feeders empty overnight, I am greeted the in the morning with at least 6 to 10 birds on my patio screaming at me to get those feeders full, we are starving!!! It’s amazing! I love my birds and the squirrels who compete for the droppings.

We have been purchasing black oil sunflower seeds locally, but recently were unable to purchase them. We searched Chewy and found that the same weight bag of seeds was less expensive even with shipping. The quick shipping time was an added bonus.

I bought this bag a few weeks ago. I started to open it and saw dozens of moths inside. They are pantry moths, and they often infect my house from the birdseed I buy from Chewy. (I mix several brands and varieties at a time.) The pantry moths ruin my food and are very annoying.

Poor quality seeds; bag included high percentage of chaff (see photo below). I have bough Pennington black oiled sunflower seeds in the past (from ACE Hardware), which were much better quality. I will not buy this product again from Chewy.com.
