What kinds of birds will this mix attract?

This blend is geared toward North American backyard songbirds that favor seeds and nuts. Expect visits from cardinals, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, buntings, and several finch varieties. The combination of sunflower and safflower seeds plus peanuts brings both granivores and nut-preferring species to your feeder.

• High-energy black oil sunflower attracts many seed-eating species
• Safflower seed appeals to cardinals and deters some unwanted pests
• Peanuts provide extra protein for active birds
• Millet and cracked corn add texture for ground-feeding and mixed feeding birds

How should I use this seed across different feeder types?

Audubon Park Songbird mix works well in tube, hopper, platform, tray, and open smart feeders. The blend’s varying seed sizes flow reliably in tubes and hoppers while also sitting attractively on platforms. Check feeders often and keep seed dry to preserve freshness and reduce spoilage.

• Tube feeders: best for sunflower and safflower portions
• Hopper/feeders: holds the mix without clogging; visible to multiple birds
• Platform/tray feeders: showcases peanuts and cracked corn for ground feeders
• Smart/open feeders: offers variety that encourages longer viewing sessions

Does this seed support birds year-round?

The mix supplies calorie-dense ingredients to help birds maintain energy in all seasons. Black oil sunflower and peanuts provide fats and protein useful in cold weather and breeding seasons, while millet and cracked corn offer accessible carbohydrates. Regular feeding supports frequent visits and can aid local birds during migration and challenging weather.

• High-energy seeds help sustain birds in cooler months
• Protein-rich peanuts support active and breeding birds
• Balanced seed variety suits seasonal dietary shifts
• Reliable supply helps create consistent backyard activity

How should I store and maintain the seed for best results?

Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and minimize pests. Use older seed first and avoid wetting feeders to reduce mold risk. Clean feeders regularly and replace seed if it becomes damp, discolored, or smells musty.

• Store in a sealed container away from sunlight and moisture
• Rotate stock: use older seed before opening new bags
• Clean feeders every 1–2 weeks or more in wet weather
• Discard damp or moldy seed to protect bird health

Who is this for: Audubon Park Songbird Wild Bird Seed is ideal for homeowners, birdwatchers, and anyone wanting to invite a greater variety of colorful songbirds to their yard. It’s suited to beginners and experienced backyard feeders who use tube, hopper, platform, or open feeders and want a single versatile blend that draws frequent activity without constant mixing.
