Ingredients
A good wild bird seed mix contains all of the nutritionally-dense ingredients birds require in their diet. Furthermore, it should not contain fillers such as broken corn, milo, oats or wheat that might otherwise displease birds.
Some of these fillers can attract pests like rats and mice. Before choosing any seed mixture that contains such fillers, be sure to read its ingredients list carefully and avoid those containing such additives.

Sizes
When shopping for wild bird seed mix, it is essential that it contains seeds that will appeal to birds. Most budget mixes tend to include large quantities of milo or millet with smaller amounts of cracked corn and sunflower seeds.
Such feeders may work fine for some birds, but others will pick through them and leave many seeds behind to fall to the ground, creating a messy weed patch around your feeders if you don’t regularly remove old seed from them.
Instead of purchasing generic blends of wild bird food, consider visiting a specialty store that specializes in wild bird nutrition. Here, seeds will be tailored specifically to the types of birds found in your region. Additionally, be sure to select blends without fillers such as cracked corn or wheat as these provide little nutritional benefit and may cause waste when left behind by birds.
Attracts a variety of birds
There is a wide range of bird seeds on the market and it is essential that you select one to attract local birds. Certain types of birds prefer particular seeds while others won’t eat any at all.
No grow wild bird seed mix attracts many different kinds of birds and makes an excellent addition to feeders. It contains sunflower chips, hulled white millet and shelled peanuts to appeal to all types of species.
This mixture is 100% edible and leaves no mess behind – unlike traditional seed mixes which often create heaps of unsightly shell waste that attracts birds and pests. Furthermore, this mix comes equipped with an easy pour spout which makes filling your feeder effortless without needing to manually scoop and touch every seed!
Works with most feeders
This high-energy mix includes sunflower seeds, rolled oats, suet sprinkles and flaked maize that has been de-husked and heat treated so as to not have birds feed on it in your garden.
One common challenge with bird feeder mixes is that birds inevitably pick through them, leaving behind seeds which eventually sprout into weeds around your feeders. To combat this problem, consider investing in a mix designed specifically to meet the preferences of the birds in your area.
Sunflower seeds, peanut pieces and hulled millet are excellent no mess mixes for most bird feeders, with their popularity among birds such as juncos and towhees being widespread. However, if cowbirds are prevalent in your area then consider selecting an all-milo blend or one with no red millet included as alternatives.
