"This is my 2nd purchase and my southern backyard birds love them. I mix these with the sunflower hearts and chips, and mealworms. We get a variety of birds (cardinals, finches, chickadees, bluebirds, titmice, grosbek,etc,). Would definitely recommend this product!"
"I find this product to be hilarious, as most birds do not have much of a sense of smell. The cherry smell, therefore, does absolutely nothing. Don’t waste your money. Just go buy regular black oil sunflower seeds."
Bottom Line
If you're looking to attract a variety of birds, these cherry-scented sunflower seeds are a good option. Just be aware that the scent may not be as effective as you might hope. Use as a mix with other seeds to attract a greater variety of birds.
