Great treat for songbirds but the black oil seed is a bit better for them. Striped seeds tend to be a bit messier than the black oil shells but they do love both.

Pros: they love it

Cons: messy

Sunflower seeds attract everything from birds to deer,
yes we have had deer eat out of our feeders! Turkey's, crows along with the usual birds.

Pros: na

Cons: na

If I put these out and the black oil sunflower seeds, the black oil are gone almost immediately. The birds will then move on to these.

Pros: Birds like once the black oil seeds are gone

Cons: None

I supplement my Lovebird's seeds with this. She LOVES these sunflower seeds. I recommend this product

Pros: Birds of all sorts love it

Cons: not sure

The Striped Kernels have 4+ times the meat in them than the regular black oil sunflower seeds

Pros: Kernel Size

Cons: None known
