I want to get the highest quality, premium bird food but I don't know what is best to offer my fine feathered friends outside in my garden. Any suggestions?
Well I don't know if there's really such thing as a premium seed, but the most popular seed with most types of birds is Black-oil sunflower seed. That seems to be the most universally eaten seed with birds.
Thanks I wasn't aware that most birds enjoyed this type of seed. I'll be sure to make sure mixes I buy contain this stuff!
This is a universally enjoyed seed, but keep in mind not all birds love it and some even avoid it.
I don't even think that many birds like this type of seed...
I can confirm that while most birds do enjoy the Black-oil sunflower seed, not all birds will fancy this type of seed. If you're simply trying to attract most types of birds then this seed should do fine.
