Cole's CB05 Cajun Cardinal Blend Bird Seed, 5-Pound

The birds love the food and the squirrels also love it . What can I say it must taste soo good!! Must have spice loving squirrels.

The small birds seem to love this seed. The squirrels do not.Yay! They may try a little, but then they shake their heads and leave.

This is great bird feed to keep squirrels away. I have it on subscription shipping so I'm never out. The birds seem to love it! The squirrels haven't been back since I switched to this and they tried it once - that was enough to keep them from trying to get into the bird feeder again.

Attracts cardinals, variety of finches, mourning doves. Doesn’t attract squirrels, the biggest selling point for me. I deducted a star because this product is often delayed in shipping.

Perfect to keep squirrels out of bird food. Birds love it and are not affected by the heat. Squirrels try to eat it but only once, then they leave it alone. Be sure to wear gloves and wash hands after filling feeder so you don't get hot spots on you.

Seeds are hulled, so mess is minimized. Seeds are spicy, so squirrels no longer empty the feeder within a scant few hours-- they just stay away from it entirely. However, the birds (cardinals, sparrows, morning doves, etc) make pretty rapid progress on it themselves (they will eat all but the chaff within a day or two). It's on the pricey side, so I've considered "diluting" with untreated seed--but haven't yet, so can't say what proportions might work well. Advisable to wash hands after handling, particularly if prone to touching your eyes.

Definitely Recommend Worked as soon as I left it and the squirrels that use to take all of my bird seeds and eat it in the morning before my birds could get a chance to have some bird seeds but now when I left it for the morning not one seed the squirrels took for this bird seed is to too hot The Cardinals and other birds Keep coming back for more

We have bought this seed for several years, but something has changed in the formulation. It used to be completely effective against squirrels and mice. Since the last two bags, however, the rodents are having a feast. I thought the first bag was just a mistake in manufacturing - an error that slipped by. I just bought another bag of the same brand at a local shop and we are having the same results. Rodent fiesta! This stuff is expensive and it’s the last I’ll purchase. Peppermint spray deters the squirrels and garlic paste repels the mice. Not as convenient as the Cajun seed but lots cheaper and more effective. This stuff is a waste of money.
