This is the way to go if you don't want plants sprouting from under your feeders. There is no shell mess and , if the chips do land on the ground, they can't sprout. Other than being pricier than the non-shelled seeds, it couldn't be a more perfect product.

Pros: NO MESS! Many birds love these

Cons: More expensive than non-shelled sunflower seeds

We buy a lot of birdseed. We buy a lot of the Garden Treasures seed. I store this brand in old ice chests so I will know right off where the Garden Treasures stuff is kept. I should buy stock in the company.

Pros: Good name Garden Treasures

Cons: none

Sunflowers are a *very important seed for birds. This sunflower seed is shelled and ready-to-eat. Attracts so many birds. Love them. High quality brand.

Pros: Attracts lots birds

Cons: none

Other than the price, this is the perfect seed. The birds do go through it mighty fast since they don't have to crack anything open.

Pros: No waste, no mess, easy to feed, birds adore

Cons: Expensive

Got this for my outside feeders. The birds seemed to enjoy it but it also caused more mess than usual.

Pros: Taste

Cons: Messier than usual
