As many as 59 million Americans feed wild birds. Bird feeding participation skyrocketed during the Covid lockdown as people found comfort and relief from nature.
Unfortunately, it also brings wild animals together in close quarters, making it easier for parasites and viruses to spread among them. This could result in deadly diseases like House Finch Eye Disease as well as severe respiratory infections that spread rapidly between them.

Top of the Line
Some companies view wild bird food as either an extension of their pet food line, or as a seasonal replacement for grass seed sales. As a result, they use cheap filler seeds and leftover crops in their bargain mixtures that the birds don’t consume, leading them to pay more while missing out on increasing bird numbers due to better mixes.
Lyric’s Supreme Blend contains premium ingredients designed to attract a variety of backyard birds, and its high concentration of natural nutrients make this blend popular with backyard birders. Woodpeckers especially like its black oil sunflower seeds; other birds appreciate peanuts, safflower hearts, white millet and nyjer as well. Plus it’s a waste-free mix that fits seamlessly in all standard tube or hopper seed feeders!
No Corn
Many chain hardware, garden, pet stores and general bird food stores are selling wild bird seed blends in their backyard sections to capitalize on this growing hobby. Unfortunately, these mixes tend to be of poor quality, often including filler seeds like wheat milo or safflower that makes the product cheaper to purchase.
Corn is a favorite food source of house sparrows, cowbirds and starlings as well as other birds such as grackles, robins and doves. Unfortunately, however, corn also harbors aflatoxins which are highly toxic even at lower levels and should therefore be avoided as much as possible.
Peanuts are a tasty food source for woodpecker species and birds such as jays, crows, chickadees and titmice, while being particularly appealing to squirrels, bears and raccoons – however large quantities should only be put out on tray feeders to avoid mold issues.
