Bird Seed

Wild bird seed is comprised of a blend of various seeds and grains specifically formulated to attract and nourish wild birds. Each seed blend attracts a different species. The most common bird seed ingredients include sunflower seeds, millet, safflower, cracked corn, nyjer, peanuts, and sometimes fruit pieces. The bird seed blend you select depends on the types of birds you aim to attract, the season, and your location. High-quality mixes tend to have fewer fillers, which aren’t appealing to most birds and often go to waste. Specialty mixes are also available for specific bird types or habitats, such as woodland birds.

Bird Feeders

Wild bird feeders are designed to attract specific bird species and offer particular seed types and feeding preferences. Each bird feeder caters to the unique behaviors and feeding styles of different types of birds. The most common types of bird feeders include tube, hopper, platform, nyjer (thistle), suet, window, ground, Oriole and Humming Bird, and peanut. Keeping feeders clean is essential to prevent the spread of disease among bird populations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep squirrels away from bird feeders?

Customers frequently ask for advice on how to prevent squirrels from accessing their bird feeders. Our most effective solutions include squirrel deterrent feeders and baffles, as well as hot pepper bird seed mixtures, which birds enjoy but squirrels avoid. The placement of the feeders is also important. Keep feeders and squirrel baffles 4-5 ft off the ground, 6ft or more away from any building, shed, deck, tree, etc.
