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 own favorite meals, but the popular sunflower seeds are known to be the favorite among seed-eater birds. This is important information for bird enthusiasts who may want to attract a variety of wild birds to their backyard feeders. This explains why sunflower seed is the major ingredient in wild bird seed mixes.
There is a wide selection of wild bird seed mixes for bird feeding, but the majority of mixing are not a favorite among wild birds. There are three main hints for buying wild bird seed. The first tip would be to look at the label. Shrewd shoppers examine the label when they buy food for their households these days. Labels should be studied when purchasing seed mixes, too.
If you want to attract a variety of wild birds to your feeders, stay away from wild bird mixes that contain oats, cereals and/or "mixed grains." Most wild birds dislike these ingredients. Another tip is to avoid fillers such as the mixed grains. Some bird seed mixes contain "filler" seeds, which add weight to the bag, but usually end up in a pile under your bird feeder because birds know what they like, and simply 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 rather clean, but it means that a 40-pound bag of seed may include over two pounds of inedible material, meaning, more unwanted extras that will drop to the ground. Many sellers are obligated to sieve the bird seed three times to eliminate any empty shells, sticks, leaves and other debris which is ordinarily 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.
