Safflower seems expensive but everyone uses it. What’s special about it?
Couldn’t I just use more sunflower seed instead?
Safflower benefits:
- High fat, good for conditioning
- Easy to digest
- Birds love it (good for motivation)
- Different oil profile than sunflower
Sunflower is good too but shells are messier and some say harder to digest.
Safflower is popular because results are good. Is it strictly necessary? No. Is it worth the cost? Most successful flyers say yes.
