I buy black oil at either Cedarburg feed store or the Saukville feed. They are
up to $38 a 50 lb bag. The bags also contain a maggot looking type crawler
about 1/4 inch long. If they get out of your bag or trash can (whatever), they
will crawl under anything and everything, make cacoons and hatch small narrow
looking flying insects. We are not getting the good seed. If you get an
infestation, your going to have to lift everything to see the bottom and use
tons of bug killing spray. Do not know if anyone else has had this problem.

Sally, the striped are usually considerable larger than the black seeds.
That's okay for blue Jays, Blackbirds, Grackles and Grosbeaks.... however
chickadees, nuthatches, goldfinches, all the smaller guys prefer the black
ones. Black is the best all-around seed for finches, siskins, etc. Our big
problem is ORIDA which has switched from corn oil to sunflower oil and purchase
most of the crop, hence $35 a 50 lb !!!! This is a ridiculous price and means
many feeders will be empty this winter. Should be an interesting Christmas
Count this year.

I need help from all you experts - I buy black oil sunflower seeds - my latest
purchase had seeds that looked just like striped sunflower seeds - the store
says they are still black oil or comparable. Any advice.
Thanks in advance.
