The Best Seed For Birds
The Best Seed For Birds
It may be too cold to spend much time outside, but when you feed the birds a good quality seed you’re rewarded with a yard full of color and motion, and less mess for you! Inexpensive seed mixes often contain fillers such as golden or red millet, wheat, oats or other grains that most birds don’t eat. What happens to these seeds when you put them on your feeder? The birds push them to the ground, where they form a messy layer that can attract rodents.
There are many types of seed mixes for birds; some are blended to attract certain species such as cardinals or woodpeckers. If you want to keep it simple and feed all types of birds, use the shelled sunflower blend that Country Garden offers. It is 80% shelled sunflower seeds and 20% in-the-shell black oil seed. As you can see from the photos below, all the birds love it, and less shells mean less mess under your feeders.
