For seed eating birds in the GTA and outlying areas, Black-Oil Sunflower, Fine and Medium Sunflower Chips, Peanuts, White Proso Millet, Safflower, and Nyjer® Thistle are among the most preferred seed types. Our customers and birds seem to prefer the Garden Friendly (No-Mess Blend) and our Waste-Free Blend.
These unique blends feature seeds that have had their shells removed so only the meat of the seed is left. No messy shells and no weed growth makes this blend the perfect mix for feeders in flower gardens, near pools, decks and lawns.
Pound for pound, our Garden Friendly and Waste-Free Blends offers the best value because you do not pay for the shells. The birds eat everything. A 20 lb. bag contains at least twice as much seed as a bag with shells.
Besides the shell-less blends, we have several other blends that are seasonally formulated to attract the birds that live in our area. They do not include cheap filler grains like oats, wheat and milo that decrease the price per pound of a mix and aren’t eaten by the birds. These blends actually end up costing less to use while attracting more of the birds that you want to watch.
