I must remember to ask the supplier (my local pet shop guy) not to put them in at this time of year cos he mixes his own.
My seed supplier does his wild bird mix in 'standard' and 'Summer mixture'. The obvious difference is that the latter has no whole peanuts- there may be other differences but I haven't examined in detail. Maybe your supplier would take up this idea, if you explained why it was a good notion?
