There seems to be a bit of a question on the actual name of this food. The picture shows Ace Wild Bird Food, but the title says Kaytee Products Wild Bird Food. I have the Ace Hardware Wild Bird Food which is the same as the picture. I have compared the notations on the bag with those here under the Kaytee name and have come to the conclusion that Kaytee makes this feed for Ace Hardware.
We recently bought an old home in Southern Mississippi and have spent the last month doing odd jobs and moving a few things on the weekends. The house is on 2 acres in the country and I have a huge old oak tree estimated to be around 150 years old in the front yard. There are also several pecan trees on the property and wildlife is abundant. I have been taking my breaks on the front porch and enjoying sitting down and watching the birds. It didn't take me long to put out some seed for our little neighbors.
Ace Wild Bird Food
I purchased a 20 lb. bag of the Ace Wild Bird Food at our local Ace Hardware. It cost $9.99 a bag, making the cost per pound of seed only $.50. Not bad!
Ace Wild Bird Food states on the front of the package that this mix is for cardinals, chicadees, grosbeaks, juncos and nuthatches. (I know what the first two look like but I"m clueless on the last three types of birds).
Ace guarantees this seed for 100% satisfaction or you can get your money back. This is a nice gesture and it tells me that they stand behind thier products.
The package also recommends putting the seed in a tube feeder, popper or a covered platform feeder. The seed contains vitamins also to help wild birds stay healthy through the long winter months and the breeding season.
Ace Wild Bird Food contains millet, sunflower, other grains, calcium carbonate, Vitamin A supplement, and Ditamin D3 supplement.

My Thoughts on Ace Wild Bird Food
I have really been enjoying the wildlife at our new home on the weekends and can't wait to get fully moved in. We have deer that come up out of the woods that graze out in the far side of the yard, squirrels jumping from tree to tree and lots of birds.
I made some pinecone bird feeders for my first attempt to attract more birds. You make these by applying peanut butter, rolling in seed and tying a string around them to hand in a tree. The birds loved them and I have been keeping them supplied with food.
My nest project is to build a feeding station and put it about 200 yards from the house. This will be close enough that the birds will use it and close enough for me to enjoy watching the birds eat.
For the price, this is a good mix of wild bird food. My birds love it and have been bringing friends over to also enjoy the feast.
