TLDR Review: Wagner's Farmer's Delight Bird Food
Published: December 20th, 2024
Pros
- •Attracts a diverse range of bird species, including bluebirds, cardinals, finches, and wrens.
- •Ideal for attracting waterfowl like ducks and geese, who enjoy milo.
- •Provides mental stimulation for indoor cats by drawing in birds.
- •Affordably priced for a bird feed option.
- •Supports local wildlife by providing food during cold winter months.
- •Contributes to birriendly initiatives when paired with items like bird baths.
Cons
- •High percentage of milo, which most songbirds avoid and consider filler.
- •Attracts rodents due to leftover seeds from birds kicking out the milo.
- •Cherry flavor is ineffective; birds do not taste sweetness.
- •Reported infestation of small black beetlike bugs in the seed bag.
- •Considered overpriced given the high milo content and questionable quality.
Bottom Line
While Wagner's 53002 Farmer's Delight Wild Bird Food with Cherry Flavor attracts certain bird species and is budget-friendly, its high milo content makes it less appealing to many songbirds and may lead to unwanted pests. If you're looking to attract a broader variety of birds without the pest issues, you may want to try a mix with fewer fillers. Ensure alternative options suit your local bird population's preferences to make the most of your birdfeeding endeavors.
