Anytime is a good time to feed birds! However, it is really helpful to supplement our feathered backyard friends with bird seed during migration and winter seasons. This is when they are expending lots of energy traveling long distances, working to retain heat and there may be additional food scarcity.

Any type of seed feeder, but particularly tube feeders, chalet or hopper feeders, and platform feeders.

As often as you need or desire. However, we recommend checking your feeder every week.

Use this seed as a single premium seed or mix seeds to create a custom mix. Fill your bird feeder so it can close properly and refill biweekly to weekly (as needed). Clean up spills when filling feeders or underneath feeders as needed.

Install at least 10-12 ft from home structure, windows, or potential collisions. Consider squirrel deterrents like squirrel baffles, especially if the feeder is attached or located in a tree.

We recommend storing the bird seed in a closed container within a dry, cool location. This storage will avoid unwanted pests and issues with seed spoiling due to moisture.

Birds may not show up immediately after placing seed, feeders, or houses in your yard. They need the right habitat to feel safe and avoid conflicts with potential predators—so adding plants to your backyard that offer perching, shelter, nesting, or foraging habitat will encourage birds to use feeders and houses. Adding some sort of water feature—especially moving water—will encourage birds to find your backyard too.
