Bottom Line
If your local bird population happens to like this blend, it can be a cost-effective option. However, widespread dissatisfaction due to changes in the mix, with many undesirable ingredients like Milo, calls into question its appeal to a broader variety of birds. For those looking to attract specific species like Blue Jays or Cardinals, supplementing with additional Sunflower seeds might be necessary.
