Thistle Bird Seed What type of birds eat this type of seed?

Question by christigmc: What type of birds eat this type of seed?
I bought a wild bird seed mixture. I think it’s white millet seed, thistle seed and a handful of sunflower seeds. Apparenly the birds got picky and only wanted the sunflower seeds and the rest of the seeds are scattered everywhere. What type of birds eat the other types of seeds? I live in Southern California.
