No waste blend. 40% peanuts & sunflower hearts. 100% edible! The shells have been removed from each tasty ingredient, so every morsel is 100% edible food. There's no waste! Did you know that 45% of sunflower seeds are actually the shell that goes to waste and fall to the ground There's no waste with ours! We use only the sunflower hearts, making our blend more economical to feed than regular, in-shell blends. There's no mess! There will be no unsightly mess under your feeders. So your patio, garden and deck will stay eye-catching. No germinating seeds! Because we removed the protective shells, these seeds can't germinate and grow as they fall to the ground. A gourmet blend! It's jam-packed with over 40% sunflower hearts and peanuts. That means high oil and fat content just what all wild birds require. The best feeder for this blend is an enclosed feeder to protect the food from inclement weather. Water: Provide a constant source of water near your feeding area and the birds will flock to it. Helpful hints for successful bird feeding! Year-round food: birds are attracted by a reliable source of food so keep your feeders full and they'll return faithfully. Shelter: place feeders near trees and shrubs because they provide a safe haven. A sunny, windless, southeastern exposure is the preferred feeding location. Variety of feeders: the style of feeder will affect which types of birds are attracted to it. Cardinals prefer platform feeders, finches prefer tube feeders. Food makes the difference: each bird species has its food preference, so providing it will attract them. Keep it clean: regular cleaning of your feeders and watering areas will benefit the log-term health of the birds. We created Bird Lover's blend for the experienced hobbyist, as well as the novice.
