FIELD THE FEEDER

FEED THE FLYERS
Suet, fruit and peanuts - The ultimate bird party starter. All birds love these! 

Black-oil sunflower seeds - The easy to please seed that cardinals, woodpeckers, blue jays, goldfinches, finches, chickadees, titmice and nuthatches eat. Plus, these deter squirrels and raccoons. 

Thistle seeds - Goldfinches simply love thistle seeds! Only use in thistle feeders. 

Safflower seeds - Cardinals, chickadees, titmice and downy woodpeckers snack on safflower. Squirrels don't like them either! 

White millet - Cheap to buy and charming to sparrows, juncos and mourning doves.
