Whatever time of year, offering an attractive seed mix for birds that visit is the key. The target = "_blank" title = "Bird Feeders"> better nutrition will have little value if the seed is used not to the liking of the birds. The areas of the country the winter is hard to present a challenge. Additional nutrients such as beef tallow and suet cakes should be offered, as they provide a source of high energy help support their visitors during the winter months.

For use throughout the year, we recommend a combination of / sunflower oil Safflower black with an approximate ratio of 5 to 1, respectively. Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Blue Jays, the whole family Sparrow f inch including finches and goldfinches (these kids do not eat only Thistle / Nyjer seed), Doves and many others appreciate this offer in the menu.

Our experience shows you can not go wrong with this mixture. Seeds such as millet and corn may attract some unwanted visitors, such as starlings and blackbirds. These birds of prey again, that spread favorite song birds swoop in to feed, you can 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 experience with the combination of the two seeds. It is possible that birds in their area of preference one over the other. In addition, we found that time of year can have an effect on the concentration of sunflower oil for safflower mix your birds prefer. Keep an eye. Your bird will tell you which recipe you prefer at a given time.
