I put this mix in my bird feeder, and, unlike other types, this one never is wasted. Also, I never see the chaff or deteriorated seeds that some brands have., and this one never smells rancid. It has red-skinned peanuts, a very healthy kind, and pecans, as well as the various sunflower seeds. The birds in my yard seem very healthy; there's lots of nesting and raising of broods. In addition to the robins, cardinals, wrens, mockingbirds, sparrows, I get some rarer birds, like thrushes and red-breasted grossbeakHowever, when I ordered it in December 2023, it did not come from Coles, the usual source, but from something called Spicy Seeds, via Amazon, and what was sent was not Coles Special Feeder but a Coles' product with Chile pepper. So be careful when ordering to make sure Coles is sending the seed, not an unrelated vendor.
