Hey there, you fellas! Let’s talk about this 20 pound bird seed, ya know? Birds gotta eat, just like us. And if you wanna see them pretty little fellers flappin’ around your yard, you gotta give ’em somethin’ good.

Now, I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about feedin’ birds. Been doin’ it for years, see? You go to the store, and there’s all sorts of bags, all different colors and prices. Makes your head spin, I tell ya.
What kinda bird seed you gonna get? That’s the first thing ya gotta figure out. Some folks like them sunflower seeds. Black oil sunflower seeds, they call ’em. Birds love ’em, I tell ya. Little fellers go crazy for ’em. And they’re good for ’em, too. Lots of energy in them seeds.
- Sunflower Seeds: Black oil ones are the best, but striped ones ain’t bad neither. Good for all sorts of birds.
- Mixed Seed: This here’s got a little bit of everything. Corn, millet, sunflower seeds… Good if you don’t know what kinda birds you got.
- Peanuts: Some birds like ’em, some don’t. Good for them blue jays and woodpeckers. But some folks say you gotta be careful, some birds can’t handle peanuts. So watch out for that.
- Nyjer Seed: Them little finches love this stuff. Tiny black seeds, they are. Gotta get a special feeder for ’em, though, ’cause the holes are so small.
Now, where to buy this bird seed? Well, you got options. You can go to the big stores, like that Lowe’s or Tractor Supply place. They got big bags, good prices sometimes. Or you can go to a smaller place, a bird feed store, maybe. They might have fancier stuff, but it might cost ya more, too.
I seen some folks buyin’ bird seed online, too. On that eBay thing, or Amazon. They say you get good deals, and they bring it right to your door. Ain’t that somethin’? But I dunno, I like to see what I’m gettin’, ya know? Hold the bag in my hands, make sure it ain’t all dusty and full of sticks.
How much you gonna pay for a 20 pound bag? Well, that depends. The sunflower seeds, they cost a bit more. The mixed seed, that’s usually cheaper. And then you got them fancy mixes, with the nuts and dried fruit and all that. Those can be pricey. I seen them prices go up and down like a seesaw, I tell ya. So you gotta shop around, find the best deal.
You know, some folks say you gotta be careful about the quality of the seed. Some bags got a lot of filler, they say. Sticks and stems and stuff the birds won’t eat. You don’t want that. You want good, clean seed. That way, the birds get their bellies full, and you don’t waste your money.
And don’t forget, them birds need water too, not just seed. So put out a little dish of water for ’em, especially in the hot weather. They’ll appreciate it, I tell ya. And you’ll get to watch ’em splash around and have a good time.
So there you have it, folks. That’s all I know about this 20 pound bird seed. Just get yourself a bag, put it in a feeder, and watch them birds come flyin’. It’s a good way to spend a day, I tell ya. Just sittin’ on the porch, watchin’ them birds. It’ll make ya feel good, all warm and fuzzy inside.
Some brands I hear about are Audubon Society, Pennington, Lyric Delite, and Royal Wing. They say them are pretty good, but I ain’t tried ’em all myself. Just gotta find what works for you and your birds, I guess.
And remember, you don’t need fancy stuff, just good, plain seeds will do the job. Keep it simple, that’s what I say. Birds ain’t picky, long as they get somethin’ to eat.

One more thing, if you got squirrels around, they gonna try to get at that bird seed, too. Them critters are sneaky, I tell ya. So you might need to get a squirrel-proof feeder, or put it somewhere they can’t reach it. Otherwise, them squirrels will eat all the seed before the birds even get a chance.
Alright, I think that’s about it. Go on now, get yourself that 20 pound bird seed and enjoy them birds. They’ll bring a smile to your face, I guarantee it.
