An average 20 lb bag of standard seed typically contains several pounds of shell waste that birds cannot eat, and this can attract mice, rats or even bears.
Our no grow mixes are dehusked to reduce the chance of any unwelcome germination under your feeders, saving time, money and effort.

No mess
No mess bird seed contains more food that birds actually eat compared to standard blends, resulting in less waste (shells and hulls) for an easier feeding station and yard environment.
No Grow Bird Seed contains de-husked seeds to reduce shell waste and the formation of weeds around feeders. This reduces shell waste significantly.
As a result, Lyric offers a high quality, low maintenance wild bird food that will attract more colorful songbirds like goldfinches and thrashers without large shells being an inconvenience. You can feed this seed directly in traditional backyard bird feeders, suet cakes or on the ground year round, making this product one of our best sellers here at Lyric!
No weeds
People feed wild birds to enjoy watching them in their yards and enjoy their presence, yet feeding birds may introduce unwanted weeds into their yards. Weed seeds that germinate beneath bird feeders spread via wind currents or through bird stomachs to new locations. Oregon State University conducted research which identified fifty different weed species hidden among 10 brands of bird seed sold retail stores – 10 were on Oregon State University’s noxious weed list!
By selecting bird seed that will not germinate, you won’t have to worry about weeds sprouting under your feeders or on your lawn. These non-germinating seeds have been carefully processed with heat treatment in order to stop any possible germination that might take place – making this mix ideal for use in seed feeders, bird tables or directly onto the ground, while still providing ample sustenance to attract various wild birds and being simple for anyone wanting to feed birds without leaving behind an unsightly mess or unwanted weeds behind! This makes an excellent solution for anyone wanting to feed birds without leaving behind an unsightful mess or unwanted weeds behind!
No husks
Squirrels and grackles devouring your seed can create piles of shell waste which later bloom into unsightly weeds around your feeders, especially if using inferior or cheap bird seed blends.
Huskless bird feed is ideal for providing birds with no-mess feeding experiences, which is why we offer no grow bird seed blends with naked oats, sunflower hearts, kibbled maize and peanut bites as ingredients that help create a husk free mixture that reduces mess and weed growth underneath your feeders.
Huskless ingredients provide another advantage to both you and the birds: no husks will germinate and grow after being discarded from this mix, protecting both your garden and birdlife alike from additional waste products. Perfect for feeders and ground feeding stations alike, the high energy, oil rich mixture will attract many varieties of wild birds while providing continuous nutrition throughout the year.
No germination
Birds don’t devour every seed they see; instead they weigh them carefully before deciding if breaking open and digesting is worth their while. Birds need food that provides both energy and essential fats they require to survive.
Over time, bird seed can become stale as its moisture evaporates away, depriving birds of essential nutrient oils and moisture content necessary for digestion of its seeds. Once hard, birds won’t bother with eating it any longer – just as we wouldn’t eat stale chips!
Our no grow wild bird seed mix features a high quality selection of sunflower hearts, peanut bites and suet treats – all without the bothersome husks that would cause mess under feeders and germinate into weeds underneath! Perfect for year round feeding on both ground or from an elevated feeder!
