Skip it if	You want zero waste or fillerless seed; millet and shells draw mess and occasional complaints.	You want a tidy patio; in-shell seed leaves hulls and mess below the feeder.	You want broad appeal; nyjer targets small finches and needs a proper fine-port feeder.	You're cost-focused or want fillers gone entirely; some buyers question value and residue.	You want budget bulk or broad appeal; it's pricey and some report low bird uptake.
