Wild Bird Food

Variety abounds when it comes to wild bird food because there are so many different bird species out there, all with differing dietary needs. Some birds eat nectar, others eat seed or grain, still others eat insect and still others nuts. It goes on an on. When it comes to shopping for bird food, the key is to know your audience. If you are not interested in doing research on bird species or simply dont care which type of bird you attract, there are some generic bird seed mixes available. Black-oil sunflower seeds and mixes are a common choice as they are eaten by a wide variety of different birds in many different regions. They are also high in fat and give birds much needed energy, both pluses.

Another popular bird food favorite is suet. Suet is processed animal fat that nuthatches, woodpeckers, jays, orioles and other birds love to eat. Suet also attracts other outdoor animals like squirrels. Suet can be used in suet feeder or a platform feeder. Blackbirds, bluebirds and doves are not attracted to suet, but prefer either corn or millet. If you want to attract small finches and the like, nijer, or thistle seed, is called for. You need a thistle seed feeder or a tube feeder with a thistle seed opening for this type of feed because it tends to be more expensive than other food, and you dont want to waste it with spills. Nectar is the staple of a humming birds diet. You can buy artificial nectar or you can make it yourself. Store-bought artificial nectar sometimes has added vitamins and its easy to use and store.
