Is Cheap Bird Seed A Good Deal?

Essex Junction, VT(Zone 4a)

Someone pointed me to the below blog post titled "Is Cheap Bird Seed A Good Deal?" I found it interesting, esp to see someone had done some informal testing and found that really cheap sunflower seed typically provides less seed meat than "non-cheap."

To sum it up:
"So, beware when you see sunflower or any bird seed on sale at an unusually good price. Chances are it’s a sign that the seed is old or of little feeding value to the birds."

I hope you find it as interesting as I did.
