Different seeds for different birds
• Ground feeders, stub-legged platforms to attract birds that feed at ground level, cater to native sparrows, dark-eyed juncos, towhees and mourning doves.
• Suet feeders attract trunk-zone birds such as woodpeckers, nuthatches and brown creepers for the animal protein in suet.
How to select seed
Just as the type of bird feeder determines which birds are attracted, the bird seed is important.
• Elevated hopper and seed tube: Sunflower seed, safflower seed and other nut-based mixes. If general wild bird mix is provided, birds will sweep through it, picking out the nut meats and scattering everything else to the ground.
• Thistle feeders: Nyjer thistle or fresh finch mix (not older than four to six months). Avoid finch mix containing canary grass seed, flax and other fillers. Best finch mix is half Nyjer thistle and half ground sunflower chips.
• Ground feeders: Safflower and white proso millet.
