At different points in the year, wild birds require different things in order to thrive and our seasonally adjusted blends have been designed specifically to meet those needs.
Place feeders near trees, shrubs and bushes to offer protection from predators while offering sanctuary for nesting and raising young. However, avoid overfeeding as this can lead to obesity in some bird species.

Product Description
Woodlands Wild Bird Food is an all-season mix designed to draw various kinds of wildlife into your garden. With high levels of black oil sunflower seed content – one of the highest desired seeds among wildlife – Woodlands attracts birds of all sorts with ease.
This mix contains nutritious ingredients designed to attract both wild birds and squirrels to your yard, providing them with protein and energy-rich food sources.
Expected birds that this mix should attract include Blue Jays, Scrub Jays, Cardinals, Purple Finches, Goldfinches, House Finches, Mourning Doves, Sparrows (all types), Grosbeaks, Nuthatches Chickadees and California Towhees.

Ingredients
Wild birds require a balanced diet rich in both fat and protein for energy. While cheap seed mixes may contain 8-12% protein and 2-4% fat, higher quality ingredients like sunflower, safflower, nyjer and peanuts provide 20-25% fat and 20-40% protein for maximum wild bird attraction at your feeders.
Wild bird food blends and suet are great sources of high-energy, low-cost calories that will attract wild birds into your yard. In wintertime, make bird suet cakes as an extra concentrated source of energy to ensure good condition among backyard birds.
Your mix may attract Blue Jays, Scrub Jays, Cardinals, Purple Finches, Goldfinches, Chickadees, Nuthatches and California Towhees. Place this classic blend in hopper, platform or large tube feeders year-round to attract these songbirds and provide water as a means of keeping their numbers healthy while protecting against dehydration.
Nutritional Value
Black Oil Sunflower Seed provides heat and energy that wild birds need. This mix also contains millet and other grain products known to attract various wild bird species.
As is often said, you get what you pay for. Low quality wild bird seed mixtures often include unappetizing sorghum seeds that don’t appeal to birds and tend to accumulate in wet, moldy piles below feeders. Furthermore, these wasted seeds could contain bacteria and/or fungus which make birds sick and ultimately make life worse for all involved.
High-quality ingredients such as safflower, sunflower and peanuts offer more protein and fat than sorghum seeds and therefore are much more attractive to birds. This helps minimize waste accumulation in feeders while deterring nuisance animals like pigeons and mice from coming back. Serve this mix using either a tube feeder, hopper feeder or platform feeder to achieve best results; usually this blend attracts blue Jays, Scrub Jays Cardinals Purple Finches Goldfinches House Finches Mourning Doves Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Sparrows Grosbeak Chickadees California Towhees among many more birds!
