What Seeds Seed Lovers Love

It’s true, black oil sunflower seed is the best choice for attracting the widest variety of birds. It’s also true that going beyond black oil sunflower may bring new “diners” to your feeders. Here’s a tip: one type of seed per feeder reduces waste and mess. Birds rifle through seed mixes, dropping everything but their favorite. Another tip: don’t buy “wild bird seed mixes” with stuff in them that Portland area birds won’t eat — like milo, for example. Backyard Bird Shop takes pride in offering the cleanest, freshest seeds you can buy for the best price you can find them!
