Variety is the spice of life, and with
autumn underway and winter just around
the corner, there's no better way to spice
up your backyard than by having a variety
of birds choose your place as their
favorite dining spot.
By offering a greater variety of seed, you
will attract a larger, more diverse group
of birds. The simplest way to do this is to
offer birdseed blends in your feeders.
Our WBU blends are mixtures of seeds
and nuts that are specially formulated for
the birds in this area - there's nothing in
our blends that local birds don't eat. We
have a wide selection of blends to
choose from according to the birds you
want to attract.
Our Deluxe Blend is ideal for groundfeeding birds such as doves, juncos, and
sparrows. WBU Wildlife Blend, loaded
with whole corn, striped sunflower seeds
and peanuts, is great not only for birds,
but also for squirrels and other wildlife as
well.
Perhaps you love birds but not the debris
they leave behind. Our No-Mess Blend
keeps the area beneath your feeder
clean while offering all of the seeds and
peanut pieces that most birds enjoy.
Our Choice Blend is full of high-oil
content seeds. It attracts a variety of
birds and provides them with the energy
they need for the fall and upcoming
winter. This is our best-selling blend.
Stop by this month and let us know what
kind of birds you want at your feeders.
We'll make sure you get the blend that
will attract a variety of birds that will
spice up your backyard.
