Wild Bird Seed, Suet & Treats
By investing in the right wild bird supplies, you can bring the spectacular beauty of nature to your home. With bird seed, suet and treats from Tractor Supply, you can help fill your backyard with the biggest feathering flock on the block. If you are wondering what bird seed to buy, consider the types of birds in your region, overall climate and season, as each of these factors can dictate which feed is best for attracting wild birds to your yard, porch and other outdoor areas.
Choosing The Best Wild Bird Seed For Your Outdoor Space
Each bird breed has a unique diet, which is why some wild bird feeds may be more ideal than others. For this reason, you’ll want to determine which birds you want to attract prior to purchasing wild bird feed.
Seed Blends: To best attract a wide variety of birds to your home, consider purchasing a seed blend formulated for the birds in your area. The best wild bird seed blends often contain a mixture of the three most popular bird feeds: sunflower seeds, millet and cracked corn.
Insects: If you are interested in attracting breeds such as bluebirds, wrens and chickadees (which consume a diet dominated by insects), you should consider adding insects to your feed mixture.
Peanuts, Nuts and Dried Fruit: Woodpeckers, nuthatches and titmice prefer a diet filled with fruits and nuts, which provide birds with rich nutrients.
Suet: Wild bird suet is made from a combination of seed, fruits, nuts and beef fat. The fat contributes to the feed’s nutrient-dense nature, which is why suet can elevate energy levels and increase warmth for birds. For this reason, suet is especially popular amongst birds in the winter months.
Treats: Everyone likes a special treat, and birds do, too! Providing your backyard flock with treats is a great way to enhance their diet with added nutrients. Common bird treats include mealworms, whole peanuts and bite-sized suet nuggets.
Keeping Pests Away from Bird Feed
Unfortunately, bird feed can often attract other animals and rodents, such as squirrels and mice, which can ravage your bird feed. To best prevent these pests from devouring your bird feed, consider purchasing bird feeders and accessories with special squirrel-proof features. Alternatively, buying squirrel-specific food will prove more attractive to the squirrel, thereby deterring them from your wild bird feed.
