A note about Scenic bird food,

Two main reasons you don’t hear a lot about Scenic.

Firstly, it’s primarily sold to zoos.

Second, they shuttered their door for several months until recently, and now they are back in production.

We’re starting out with 4 blends in 20-pound bags.

BTW, Scenic pellets are the only pellets that won’t dissolve in water.
