I wasn't sure where to put this. Hubby and I bought Safflower seed for the first time and replenished our feed of B.O.. Well let me tell ya, those birds took to that like a crack addict, they could not get enough. I hope no one has a crack addict in their family and gets offended by this. The birds were coming in like maniacs. It was cool to watch. |

I've never tried it. I don't even think our feed and seed store carries it. My cousin uses it because it keeps the squirrels away. They don't seem to like it. |

I never saw it at our feed stores either but sounds like the birds like it. |

My MIL swears by safflower seed because it is not messy. But isn't it a bit pricey? Maybe not as high as crack  but more than BO seed? Do tell ...

Oh, KeyWee LOL.. Crouching down while I write this, yes its pricey. That is why we only got two pounds of it but two pounds goes a long way. The seed is not heavy, its quite airy  . It was 1.29 a lb..That is what we heard, squirrels dont take to it..Uhmmm, these do unfortunately.. There are birds everywhere. YAY! |

I switched from boss to safflower for a month in mid-summer when I was tired of hosps and grackles mobbing the feeder. Unfortunately, after a couple weeks the house finches were eating the safflower so fast it was no longer more economical than boss. |

hawkeye you are absolutely correct! It goes so fast, you'd think they hadn't ate in weeks. Those birdies are not going to get safflower everyday, I'd be out in a week for sure. |
