Adding to Seed Mix

Question

Hey All,

Firstly can I just say another huge thank you everyone who has offered there support & advice to my previous posts. You have all been so kind & helpful with my new passion and it’s makes me so glad I found & joined this community

However I do have another question if I may.

So I currently have a Classic mixed seed mix in one feeder, it’s a good brand (Tom Chambers) and includes what I relies is general mixed seed makes, black sunflower hearts ect... however it isn’t being touched at the mo. Now I appreciate in the colder months birds enjoy the fattier suet type thing, which they are, but I have done some research & it’s seems really high quality expensive mix seed also includes things like mealworms & peanut flakes along with the general mix seeds.

So my thinking was because I have such a large amount of the general mix seed (I bought in bulk), would it be worth myself mixing in some mealworms & peanuts pellets to add the goodness & make it more appealing? Rather than waste what I have.

Thanks as always everyone & hope you don’t mind my beginner questions aha, good new is hopefully the feeding station is beginning to thrive

Hi Joe, don't waste any of the seed mix that they are not eating, mix it with your suet bits and crushed peanuts and put that in a feeder, as long as what you add will come down the feeder and not block the holes. It is just a matter of time in finding out what your visitors like. If you made the pastry you could add the seed mix to that, it would soon dissapear then! Good luck.
