Bird Feeding Basics - Our Favorite Seed Mix
For year round use, we recommend a combination of black/oil sunflower and safflower with an approximate ratio of 5 to 1 respectively. Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Blue Jays, all the Sparrow family and finches, including House Finches and Goldfinches (these guys do not eat just thistle/nyjer seed), Doves and many others will appreciate this menu offering. Our experience demonstrates that you can not go wrong with this mix. Seed such as millet and corn can attract some unwanted visitors such as starlings and grackles. These more "predatory" birds, who will scatter preferred song birds as they swoop in to feed, may still visit your feeding stations filled with our favorite mix, but their presence should be more limited.So enjoy this tried and true mix. And experiment with the combination of the two seeds. You may find that the birds in your area prefer one over the other. Also, we have discovered that the time of year can have an affect on the concentration of oil sunflower to safflower mix that your birds prefer. Keep an eye out. Your birds will tell you what recipe is preferred at any given time.
