Frequently Asked Questions

Will the seeds sprout?

Most of our bird seed is not sterilized, so it is possible that the seeds will sprout when they fall. If this is a concern, we recommend placing a tray below the bird feeders to catch the seed or something over the ground to prevent seed to soil contact. The one exception is our thistle seed, which is sterilized and will not germinate.

Why is there debris in my bag of bird seed?

Even with our state of the art systems, occasionally towards the end of a run, fine dust will settle along with excessive chaff (sticks & stems) that has been separated from the good seed. Bags containing excessive chaff are to be thrown off by hand to ensure unsightly product doesn’t reach our customers.

What seeds and mixes work with various feeders?

Our tube feeders have adjustable seed ports suitable for tiny nyjer (thistle) and finch seed blends. Our feeders that feature suet cages can accommodate suet and seed cakes. The rest of our seed and mixes can go in any of our seed feeders.

How long does it usually take for birds to find a new feeder?

If a new feeder is placed near a previous feeding spot familiar to birds, it may be found in minutes or up to two weeks. If there is no previous history, however, the process can take several weeks or months! There are several things you can do to speed up the process: Place the feeder somewhere birds flying by will see it, but within 10-15 feet of cover (brush pile, tree, etc.) to help birds feel safe. Start with a universally popular feed, such as Black Oil Sunflower Seed to make sure the first visitors will be happy (slowly transition to your preferred feed once the feeder is established). You can also place a little bit of seed nearby (on the top of the feeder, on the ground underneath, on deck railing nearby, etc.) to help catch the notice of new birds. Adding a nearby birdbath (especially with moving water, like a birdbath fountain) can be an incredibly effective way to draw attention to a new feeder. Lastly, monitor the feed levels in the feeder to make sure birds aren't feeding when you weren't around, and keep fresh seed stocked to get off on the right foot.

wild bird food

What types of birds do various seed types and other ingredients attract?

  • Black oil sunflower seed: Black oil sunflower seed is high in energy and has thin shells, making it the preferred food for a wide variety of birds like cardinals, chickadees, titmice, finches, sparrows and woodpeckers.
  • Fruit: Robins, mockingbirds, catbirds, bluebirds and waxwings are all species that enjoy fresh and dried fruit (and dried seeds of fruits like pumpkins or apples).
  • Hulled sunflower seed: High nutritional value and ease of consumption makes hulled sunflower a favorite of all seed eating birds.
  • Millet: Millet is a favored food of many smaller, ground foraging birds, such as juncos and sparrows.
  • Nyjer (thistle) seed: Often called "thistle" seed, nyjer attracts finches, including American goldfinches, purple finches, pine siskins, and common redpolls.
  • Safflower: Safflower attracts cardinals, nuthatches, sparrows and woodpeckers while not being preferred by bully birds like crows and blackbirds.

A feed that draws in all the birds! 🐦 They LOVE this blend!
This was a blind buy for me. Most of the time I go to the store to pick out our bird seed, so I can make sure I'm not just getting an overpriced bag of filler, like millet. Don't get me wrong, there are birds that enjoy millet and it has it's place in a good bag of feed, but I want a variety - one that includes a nice supply of black oil sunflower seeds, because the birds absolutely LOVE them! I was very pleasantly surprised and quite pleased with this seed blend. It is a wonderful mix that did in fact contain a large percentage of that black gold (i.e. sunflower seeds). Pennington Select "Birders Blend" has drawn in all the birds and provided us with hours upon hours of bird watching enjoyment. Apparently this mix is a very popular choice among birders, because when I came back here to buy another bag, it was only available through third parties (with a $20 price hike). I drove straight on to the Pets Mart and got myself another bag, for the price I originally paid here. If you can get your hands on this seed blend, I very highly recommend it! We've had multiple types of woodpeckers, cardinals, jays, doves, the beautiful (and sadly endangered) painted buntings, warblers, nuthatches, black birds, and many more that I don't know the names of (without consulting our identification book). I live in South Florida.

    Costco used to sell a great birdseed, but I don't get to Costco as often after moving to a town without one. This one is a close second, and easily available on amazon. One thing I will say is don't order this with any other items unless they are small and soft. Amazon will ship it with heavier items and sometimes it's been fine, others it's been squished and some of the seed has spilled out already on arrival. The plastic bag it comes in is pretty thin. Amazon refunded me when this happened, just something to be aware of. It's kind of expensive, but it's the best one I can find right now that the birds actually eat. Always comes fresh and the birds go nuts for it. It attracts a great variety too-->chickadees, bluejays, finches, mourning and eurasian collared doves, some birds have started showing up with this and I don't even know what they are. It's clearly good stuff!

    I liked the seeds for the birds. I did not like that the Amazon delivery driver left my package in the middle of my lawn in the evening. I didn't see it until the next morning, after it had been there all night and the sprinklers had watered it. Fortunately, it was well wrapped in the package and the seeds did not get wet.
