Birds bring great pleasure to backyard birders, but maintaining feeders can be expensive and wasteful. By purchasing bulk wild bird seed in bulk quantities, consumers can reduce costs while providing their backyard birds with proper nutrition.
Unfortuantely, many store chains, hardware stores and grocery stores sell inexpensive bird seed that contains fillers that birds don’t eat. To avoid this pitfall, look for premium quality bulk bird seed.

Black Oil Sunflower Seed
Black oil sunflower seeds attract many different kinds of wild birds, such as Northern Cardinals, chickadees and nuthatches – as well as woodpeckers! Their thinner hulls make it easier for birds to shell the edible kernels inside and reach them quickly.
Feather seeds also offer higher fat and carb content for more sustained energy for many species, making them an invaluable addition to bird feeders and providing year-round sources of nourishment for many birds.
Seed can be purchased both physically and online from bird feed retailers. When planting seeds in your garden or cover crop, make sure they’re planted in a rich soil amended with compost for best results and reduced weeds. Container gardening also makes an excellent option where many tall plants produce plenty of seeds that can later be harvested by harvesting.
Sunflower Seed Blend
Sunflower seeds are year-round favorites among birds of various species. Their thin shell and high oil content makes sunflower seeds irresistible to cardinals, chickadees, jays, nuthatches, sparrows and woodpeckers alike.
Some mixes include black oil sunflower seeds and nyjer thistle seed for increased energy benefits to wild birds. Both types have high amounts of fat content which serves as an energy boost to wildlife species.
A quality bulk bird seed mix should contain an attractive assortment of ingredients designed to attract many different bird species. Be wary of seed blends containing filler seeds such as milo; these may not be easily consumed by wild birds and should also be avoided in favor of those sold at discount stores that specialize in bird feed; their seed mixtures typically consist of at least 70% filler/waste seeds that could potentially harm wild birds’ health.
