very wasteful seed mix

I don't know exactly what seeds there are in this mix, but the ones that look like white sunflower seeds are a waste of money. They, along with millet seeds are left uneaten. I have found that no matter which mix I try, these two types of seed are just there to bulk up the weight and nothing else
