Types of Bird Seed

Black oil sunflower seed is a popular and versatile food known for its high oil content and thin shells, making it easy for birds like cardinals, chickadees, finches, grosbeaks, and jays to eat and enjoy.

Sunflower hearts are a nutritious, mess-free bird food that attracts a wide variety of backyard birds, including finches, nuthatches, cardinals, and woodpeckers. 

Nyjer® seeds, also known as thistle seeds, are tiny, oil-rich seeds that attract small clinging birds such as goldfinches, pine siskins, and redpolls. This seed is ideal for specialty Nyjer® feeders, which are designed to accommodate the feeding style of these small birds. 

Peanuts are a high-protein, energy rich food that attract a variety of birds, including jays, woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches. They can be offered whole, shelled, or in pieces.

Safflower is a nutritious option for backyard birds that appeals to cardinals, grosbeaks, chickadees, titmice, and more. Squirrels dislike the bitter taste of safflower, so they are less likely to eat this seed than other blends.

No-Waste Blends - These mixes are specially formulated with shelled seeds and kernels, leaving no messy hulls behind near the base of the feeder. Choose a no-waste blend to ensure less cleanup and fewer seeds sprouting on your lawn.

Hot Pepper Blends - These unique blends are coated in spicy pepper powders or extracts. While birds can’t taste the hot flavor, squirrels and other mammals are deterred by the burning sensation.
