Скачать или смотреть How To Choose the Right Birdseed - Attract a Beautiful Variety

Sick of getting house sparrows, squirrels and starlings hogging and draining your bird feeders? One of the easiest solutions is choosing the right type of birdseed to put out.

In this video, I detail a few seed types that attract a wider selection of beautiful native birds such as cardinals, bluebirds, chickadees, titmice, wrens, nuthatches, downy woodpeckers, northern flickers and more!

Many seed blends contain filler seed, and filler seed is what attracts the invasive house sparrows and squirrels. Filler seed types are millet, milo and cracked corn. These are easily shelled and therefore a favorite of feeder hogs.

You can control the birds you attract either by making your own blend, or carefully choosing blends.

** Make Your Own Seed Blend**
Black oil sunflower seed (cardinals, finches, titmice)
Safflower seed (chickadees, titmice)
shelled peanuts (naked) (nuthatches, titmice, blue jays, stellar jays, woodpeckers)
fruits such as currants, raisins or cranberry (avoid added sugars or other additives)

*** AVOID Seed Blends Containing**
Millet
Milo
Cracked corn

-- Nest Hollow temporarily does not carry birdseed. Instead, we will refer you to Amazon since that is a convenient place to buy anything these days-
