Wild birds, like humans, have certain preferences for meals. Discover what your feathered friends favor at their feeding station. An astute pick of bird treats along with sufficient cover will draw in a wide diversity of bird species.
Each and every wild bird has its personal favorite meals, but the common sunflower seeds are known to be the most popular amongst seed-eater birds. This is significant information for bird lovers who may want to attract a number of wild birds to their backyard feeders.This also reveals why sunflower seed is the main component of wild bird seed mixes.
There is a wide variety of wild bird seed mixes to choose from for bird feeding, but most mixes are not a favorite among wild birds. There are three main tips for purchasing wild bird seed. The first tip would be to check the label. Smart shoppers usually check the label when they buy food for their families these days. Labels should also be checked when buying seed mixes as well.
If you hope to bring different kinds of wild birds to your feeders, avoid wild bird mixes in which oats, cereals and/or "mixed grains" are present. Most wild birds reject these foods. An additional tip is to avoid fillers like the mixed grains. Some bird seed mixtures contain "filler" seeds, which make the bag more full, but commonly end up uneaten under your bird feeder since birds eat what they enjoy, and plainly put, it's not "fillers."
Birds often brush their bills through their seed and ditch the ones they don't desire or they dislike on to the ground. Even ground-feeding birds may dismiss the spilled seed. The last pointer in purchasing wild bird seed is to pick out clean bags of food.
Most bird seed is 94 to 95 percent clean, which may sound pretty clean, but a 40-pound bag of seed may include over two pounds of inedible material, which means more debris that will find its way to the ground. Some vendors are required to sift the bird seed three times to remove any empty shells, sticks, leaves and other debris which is commonly found in other vendors' seed bags.
I hope this advice is useful to you. In your pursuit to fill your bird feeders seek feed mixes that contain clean mixes without too much filler. These are the fundamental tips on what your wild birds want and prefer. Keep these three simple steps in mind when you purchase your wild bird seed next and observe the increase in wild birds making their way to your feeders.
