Audobon Bird Feeders image and description

When you are purchasing a seed mix, you need to consider bird seed ingredients. There are some which are useless for birds, but manufacturers put them inside in order to create volume. For example, try to avoid milo seed. Most of the birds can’t bite through this seed and it just gets thrown out of feeders and causes a big mess on the ground. Also, if you are running out of bird food, you can use the list of the ingredients on the box or a bag to make your own. Remember, wild birds need a lot of vitamins, so the seeds must be properly mixed. By leaving the important seeds out of the food ration, you can inadvertently cause problems for wild birds’ health.
