I have been buying seed and feeders from this company for over ten years and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. The seed is excellent and attracts a wide variety of birds. On the very rare occasion that there’s been a problem, a quick phone call has sorted it out. Delivery is with a really good courier and always prompt. It makes such a difference to have a reliable source of good food for the birds!
