Amen to Julee on "helping God feed the birds. It is certainly a gesture that does NOT go unrewarded.

We keep wild bird seed in our feeders ( about 10 of 'em ) ALL THE TIME !! We have recorded all species of birds... some which are not indigenous to our area. ( We think some of the Hurricanes may have "re-located" them. )
We're GLAD to have them. Especially when they start competing with out local birds on who can sing the sweetest !!

Jo D is also right about the Songbird Blend !!

BOTH are GREAT PRODUCTS and you'll never regret inviting the birds over every day. They have SO much to give back !!

Pros: Inexpensive Companionship !!

Cons: none known

Although it is best not to feed wild birds in spring, summer, fall, it is humane to feed in the snow, ice and bitter cold of winter. But once you feed, need to continue, as the wild birds come to look for and depend on the wild bird seed you but out.

Wild bird seed is generic. For all wild birds.

And a joy to watch them come to the feeders every day!

Pros: Humane to feed wild birds

Cons: None

I like to see lots of birds around the house. We have lots of feeders up to attract them, and we get such colorful birds. The Birds that stay here through the winter, and even some birds on their way south, need an abundance of seed to stay healthy. And we love to watch them, and our dogs and cats love kitty tv, especially when it features birds!

Pros: Most birds like it

Cons: none

this has something for everybody although i have found that even the little chickadees like the sunflowere seeds the best even though they can't crack them they will take them to a branch and crack them on the branch

Pros: great all around mis

Cons: none

We feed the bird feed during the winter and enjoy watching the birds come in to the feeder as well as where it is sat in the yard. It is great to see the various birds that come to eat.

Pros: easy to feed

Cons: drawing in the birds
