The best type of bird seed depends on the species you want to attract. For example, black oil sunflower seeds are great for attracting cardinals, chickadees, and finches. Nyjer (thistle) seed is ideal for finches and siskins, while millet attracts sparrows, juncos, and doves. Duncraft offers specialized bird seed mixes tailored to regional preferences and bird species, ensuring a rich birdwatching experience.

If birds are not eating the seed, it could be due to stale seed, unsuitable feeder placement, or the wrong type of seed for local birds. At Duncraft, we provide expert guidance on selecting the right seed for your region and how to position your feeder for maximum visibility to birds. Our high-quality bird seed ensures birds keep coming back.

How often you refill your bird feeder depends on the season and the number of birds visiting your yard. During peak migration or winter months, you may need to refill feeders daily. Duncraft offers a variety of high-capacity feeders and seed options to keep your feeders full longer, even during busy seasons.

Avoid bird seed mixes that contain fillers such as milo, cracked corn, or wheat. These ingredients are not preferred by most backyard birds and can lead to wasted seed. At Duncraft, we prioritize high-quality, nutritious ingredients in our bird seed blends, ensuring that every handful attracts birds rather than going to waste.

To keep bird seed fresh, store it in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Duncraft recommends using metal or heavy-duty plastic bins with tight lids to keep out pests and moisture. Additionally, you should rotate your bird seed stock to prevent it from going stale. Our bird seed packaging is designed to help maintain freshness for longer periods.
