Use this cylinder to problem solve! Safflower tends to deter squirrels, grackles, and starlings with its bitter taste and hard hull, although some individuals may adapt and eat it with time or in desperation.

good alternative to regular seed to deter menacing birds
I purchased the safflower seed cylinders as I have an influx of grackles and starlings in my yard. They will devour a regular seed cylinder in one day, which I can not afford. The safflower seeds satisfy the cardinals, woodpeckers, sparrows, chickadees and more that frequent my feeders. I can still enjoy birds, but avoid all the screeching and fighting that the grackles and starlings generate.

Best seed cylinder
I tried other seed cylinders before the safflower one, but they attracted mostly grackles, starlings, and squirrels. The ones with fruit also attracted bees and other insects. The safflower cylinders fixed all that. No grackles, starlings, squirrels, or bugs! But lots of wrens, finches, and woodpeckers! The shells are a bit messy and there’s some sprouting, but you can’t be a bird feeder without any mess at all. I’ll be buying these for a long time.

No waste
No seed wasted and no squirrel or other rodents. Better bird variety ,
