Bird Seed

Bird Seed is what birds eat, and you want to make sure you have a good quality seed. The variety of bird seeds and mixtures on the market is a lot. In most locations, however, the best all-around attractant is black-oil sunflower seed. This seed has a high meat-to-shell ratio; it is high in fat; and its small size and thin shell make it easy for small birds to handle and crack.

Bird Seed is vital to having a healthy bird. Suet is a good choice for attracting insect-eating birds such as nuthatches and woodpeckers. Most suet is beef kidney fat, which is inexpensive and available at many meat counters.

Bird Seed can be so many different items. Nectar is sugar water that is used to attract hummingbirds and orioles. To make nectar, add one part sugar to four parts boiling water and stir.
