Safflower Seed
Safflower seed is a small, white
conical seed
that is high in protein and fat.
If
squirrels, pigeons, blackbirds, doves and grackles crowd
your feeder and chase away the birds you want to see, you may want to try the
Safflower
Seed Solution Blackbirds, grackles and squirrels typically find the
seed unsatisfying and bitter. We say typically, but not always. But it
wouldn't hurt to try.
You can use it in any sunflower seed feeder or scatter it on the ground to
attract birds that normally don't like to perch on feeders such as Cardinals.
Types of birds attracted to
Safflower:
cardinals, chickadees, jays, grosbeaks, house finche, white-breasted nuthatch,
purple finch, red-bellied woodpecker, titmice
Note: We use
eBirdseed.com
for our wild bird food source because they have free, fast shipping, a
large, high-quality selection of seed and have superb customer service (when I
had a question one of the owners, Gordon, responded to my email in minutes).
In
addition, eBirdseed.com works directly with farmers, grower
co-ops and seed processors to deliver the freshest and most nutritious
bird seed. This isn't the cheap seed at your local discount store that been
sitting in a warehouse, has lost most of its nutritional value and is full of
"filler" seed that birds don't like.
