Wagner's Wild Bird Food Variety Blend 16 lb — 11-Seed Mix with Sunflower & Nyjer

Wagner's Greatest Variety Blend is a 16‑pound gourmet mix of 11 seeds and grains formulated to attract the widest possible range of backyard songbirds.

This carefully balanced 16‑lb bag combines the most popular seeds—over 40% sunflower in several forms—along with millets, cracked corn, nyjer, peanuts, and safflower so birds of many sizes and feeding habits will find something they prefer. The mix is blended from high‑quality grains, made in the USA, and works in tube, hopper, and platform feeders. Whether you want finches at a nyjer sock or doves on a tray, this single bag can appeal to a broad neighborhood roster of wild birds.

Which birds will Wagner's Greatest Variety attract?

This blend targets both seed‑eating songbirds and ground feeders by offering seed sizes and types that suit different beaks and feeding styles. Sunflower varieties draw the broadest number of species, while specialty ingredients invite cardinals, chickadees, finches, and woodpeckers.

• Black oil and striped sunflower seeds: preferred by many songbirds and larger species
• Sunflower chips and hulled options: work for small and medium birds
• White/red millet, cracked corn, red milo: attract sparrows, doves, and juncos on the ground
• Nyjer, safflower, peanut kernels, canary seed: bring finches, titmice, chickadees, and cardinals

How should I feed this mix to maximize visits?

The blend is versatile enough for most feeder types; choose the feeder style to match the species you hope to attract. Use tube or hopper feeders for mixed seed presentations, platform or tray feeders for ground and larger birds, and a separate nyjer station if you want more finches.

• Tube and hopper feeders: keep mixed seeds accessible to a range of birds
• Platform or tray feeders: ideal for sparrows, doves, and ground‑feeding species
• Separate small‑mesh nyjer feeder: maximizes finch visits
• Rotate feeder placement and clean regularly to maintain seed quality

What makes this blend different from single‑seed bags?

Rather than focusing on one seed type, this blend combines eleven ingredients to cover varied dietary preferences and feeding behaviors. Offering multiple seed sizes and textures increases the chance of attracting a diverse set of species to a single feeding station.

• Multiple sunflower formats supply high‑energy food for many species
• Inclusion of nyjer and safflower brings specialty feeders like finches and cardinals
• Grain diversity supports both perching and ground feeders
• Premium blending reduces filler and increases attraction potential

How do I store and handle the 16‑pound bag for freshness?

Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry area to preserve oils and prevent pests. Transfer to a sealed container if you live in humid climates or expect long storage times; use within a season for best results.

• Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight
• Use airtight bins to prevent pests and moisture exposure
• Label with purchase date and rotate stock annually
• Keep off the ground to reduce dampness and contamination
