Birds depend on various food sources for sustenance, such as berries, nuts and other fruits.
Other foods that attract songbirds include niger seed (commonly referred to as black seed or thistle), which lures goldfinches, house finches and pine siskins; as well as peanuts which attract chickadees, blue jays and titmice.

Sunflower Seed
Sunflower seeds are delicious edible kernels with a black-and-white striped shell, commonly used as food and bird feeders. When pressed for oil extraction they produce edible oil which is consumed as a popular snack as well as used in bird feeders. Sunflower seeds also play an integral part in making sunflower butter which offers an alternative peanut allergy solution.
Sunflower seeds are packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and other beneficial phytochemicals, and an excellent source of vitamin E, an anti-oxidant which protects the body against free radical damage. Furthermore, sunflower seeds contain folate and zinc which both play key roles in prenatal health.
Sunflower seeds make an excellent snack, provided you opt for unsalted varieties to limit salt intake. As they’re relatively high in calories and portion control is key. Sunflower seeds make an ideal addition to salads or sprinkle them over yogurt and other dairy foods for an extra crunchy crunch! Sunflower seeds have also proven useful as remedies against bronchial infections, laryngeal infections, coughs and colds.
