Corn Bird Food

Corn bird food such as dried whole kernel corn will attract larger birds and the easier to eat cracked corn will attract additional smaller-sized birds and is best offered in ground-feeders.

Containing both protein and fiber, cracked corn is a great addition to a bird's diet.
 

Types of birds attracted to Corn:

jays, pigeons, doves, turkeys, pheasants, quail and if cracked: blackbirds, finches, sparrows

Cracked corn is also an ingredient used in wild bird seed mixes which most birds will eat after the preferable seed is gone. Corn is a cheap alternative for attracting pheasants, quail and doves. But if you start getting too many blackbirds, cowbirds and/or house sparrows, you may want to eliminate corn from your wild bird food offerings.
