Feeding wild birds is an enjoyable activity that provides numerous advantages. Birds require food to survive and provide energy-rich fat reserves needed for migrations, over-night shivering, and other activities. Feeding them also helps establish bonds between you and them and can bring joyous interactions between species that would otherwise remain unseen between each other.
Seed bells are an easy and cost-effective way to attract wild birds. Simply cut a length of string, twine, or yarn approximately 24 inches long before creating your seed bell.

Bird Munchies Sunflower Seed Bell
Sunflower seeds are an ideal treat for backyard birds, but it’s essential to know which variety you should select. Black-oil sunflower seeds (A) make for ideal year-round feeding and attract cardinals, jays, woodpeckers and finches alike – not to mention they contain more oil with thinner shells that make less mess at your feeders!
Hulled sunflower seed is also popular with birds because it does not need to be cracked open by them; however, due to being less rich, its weight-based price tends to be more than black-oil sunflower.
Manufacturers can reduce costs by including fillers that most birds won’t eat in their mix – Milo is an example of such filler used in bird-feeding mixes; it is also widely used for livestock feed and ethanol production.

Viewed within its range, this diminutive songbird may seem inconspicuous; yet its distinctive, jumbled clinking song can be heard announcing its territory from bush tops or edges. Western subspecies (bellii) features greenish tones above and yellow wash on sides; eastern (pusillus) boasts grayish back with strong wingbars; both species generally forage within 12′ of ground; however they sometimes hover overhead to catch insects midair.
