Sunflower Seed
Sunflower seeds are nutritional powerhouses that offer numerous health advantages. They’re an excellent source of antioxidants, plant-based protein, heart-healthy fats and more; plus sunflower seeds contain minerals and nutrients which support immune function such as zinc and selenium.
Sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus) are an essential element in most value bird seed mixes and provide year-round feeding opportunities for numerous birds, such as grosbeaks, buntings, cardinals and nuthatches.
Milo (also called sorghum) can be found in many value mix formulations and offers carbohydrates and fiber for hungry birds. Though not as high in proteins or fat content as sunflower and safflower seed, milo makes an excellent ground feeder choice that should satisfy jays, quails and turkeys alike.
Dehydrated Mealworms
Chickens, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish alike love this nutritious treat for chickens, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish alike! With its balanced blend of protein, fiber, healthy fats and essential amino acids it appeals to their natural instinct of feeding on insects.
Rehydrate by submerging them in a rehydrating liquid for 15-30 minutes and soaking. Rehydrated mealworms will lighten in color and double in size compared to their dried form; drain and use within one or two hours.
Mealworms can help attract winter bird species that aren’t normally attracted to seed alone. Simply mixing mealworms into your favorite seed mix or serving them separately as a treat could bring unexpected visitors. Bird rehabbers have found another solution in coating rehydrated mealworms with nutritional powder tailored specifically for young breeding chicks – helping prevent compactedness while still offering essential nutrition during cold months – including vital protection during molting periods and life saving relief during egg hatching periods. Rehydrated mealworms still offer essential nutrition essential to their young chicks!
