Not sure what your birds would like?
You want to make sure every bird in your garden gets the right kind of energy-rich bird food they need.
There a range of different bird seed mixes for feeders, bird tables and ground feeding, to suit species that feed in various ways. The best mixtures contain plenty of oil rich seeds such as sunflower hearts and whole sunflower seeds which are an excellent year-round food. The oil content is higher in black than striped ones, so they are much better. Sunflower hearts (the husked kernels) are a popular no-mess food. This food is almost universally accepted and enjoyed by most garden bird species. Small seeds, such as millet, attract mostly house sparrows, dunnocks, finches, reed buntings and collared doves, while flaked maize is taken readily by blackbirds. Wheat and barley are only suitable for pigeons and doves. Tits and greenfinches favour sunflower hearts, peanuts and sunflower seeds. Mixes that contain chunks or whole nuts are suitable for winter feeding only, as small and young birds can choke on large pieces.
