This 5lb bag lasted me almost a week. I put an 8oz scoop in the feeder when I get home in the afternoon & scatter almost that much on the ground... maybe 12-15 ft away from the feeder, mostly an attempt to keep the squirrels busy. What I scatter on the ground feeds squirrels, redheaded woodpeckers, blue jays, cardinals, doves, a variety of little birds I never see in the feeder, turkeys & sometimes black bears. On my days off I'll put a scoop in the feeder & on the ground 2-3 times. I can't fill my feeder full & leave it- all it takes is 1 dang squirrel to eat the whole thing- if I don't catch him! That's why I only fill it when Im home- so I can stand guard! In Spring, Summer & Fall I have to watch for bears trying to get it. This brand is a good mix- heavy on the nuts & sunflower pieces with some fruit. The sunflower seed "pieces" look tiny like crumbs but that's ok- finches, chickadees & small birds love it!! And because it's pieces- there's no shells, so you're getting a bag of all eatable food. I have a big redheaded woodpecker that typically only eats what I throw out on the ground- because he is so big he has a hard time landing on & getting from the feeder. He likes the nuts in this food so well, after what's on the ground is gone he'll make attempts at the feeder. I feel like $14 a week is a lot, for me, to spend on critter food- but it is SUCH A JOY to watch them all!!! It's nothing for me to have 5or 6 at the feeder, one on top of the pole waiting, as well as 6-8 more on the porch banisters waiting their turn, along with 6-8 on the ground pecking below the feeder. I am seeing a variety of migratory birds as well because they are ones I have never seen before- that's pretty interesting. I wish it came in bigger than 5lb bag so I didn't have to buy every week. I would definitely buy this brand again, but I will be looking everywhere for more like a 20lb bag.
