Ingredients

Lizzie Mae’s Wild Bird Seed is an extremely high quality, clean mix. Unlike cheaper store brands which may attract unwanted cowbirds, starlings, grackles, and squirrels with milo ingredients like this mix contains black oil sunflower seeds, nyjer thistle seed, and safflower seed pressed into blocks so as to reduce waste while helping ensure healthy birds.

Blending

Lizzie Mae’s of Holmes County Ohio mixes all their wild bird seed for caged birds and pigeons using state-of-the-art machines that produce only top quality products for these feathered customers. They pride themselves in offering only cleanest and highest quality wild bird, caged bird, and pigeon feed products available today on the market. Their small-batch production method ensures they receive raw materials just in time to be mixed and packaged, rather than stockpiling months-old supplies in massive silos. This ensures their seeds stay fresh until you open your bag. We carry 7 of their premium seed blends in 5lb bags, such as the Bird House economy blend for all-purpose seed mixes that don’t contain corn to attract chickadees, woodpeckers, titmice and nuthatches; plus their choice blends that contain high oil content seeds such as black oil sunflower, striped sunflower chips and safflower.

Storage

Birdseed typically has an indefinite shelf life when stored correctly; however, extreme weather and improper storage conditions may lead to spoilage or render it unsuitable for feeding birds.

If your birdseed has seen better days, a sure sign it has is when it no longer attracts birds to your feeders. Next, check for damp and musty seed that has become caked together or damp and musty on its surface; check containers for signs of rodent activity such as chewed containers with bite marks from chewing rodents; look out for signs that rodents have chewed into it to chew up any unsuitable grain; smell for sharp rancid aromas which indicate oil in the seed has gone rancid and no longer suitable for feeding birds – this seed can no longer provide sustenance for birds to feed upon.

If your seed has become moldy or overly stale, try freezing it instead of keeping it at room temperature. Bird enthusiasts often keep a supply of seed in their freezers for months or years at a time to reduce moisture build-up; airtight containers like galvanized garbage cans or plastic bins with lids that seal securely are ideal storage units for this task.
