Wild bird seed no grow is an effective way to attract the birds you want without having to clean up after them. But it requires some effort.
Look for “no mess” or “waste free” bird seed that contains hulled sunflower seeds (kernels, hearts or broken chips) rather than whole sunflower seeds in their shell. This type of seed is popular with finches, sparrows, cardinals and titmice.
