FAQs

What types of birds will this seed mix attract?

This mix is designed to attract a variety of common garden birds, including robins, dunnocks, blackbirds, starlings, collared doves, turtle doves, and wood pigeons.

Can this food be used year-round?

Yes, this seed mix provides essential nutrients and energy and can be offered to garden birds throughout the year. It's particularly beneficial during colder months when natural food sources are scarce.

Is this food suitable for baby birds?

The mix includes finely ground nuts which are suitable for young birds. However, adult birds primarily feed fledglings insects, so this mix is best as a supplementary food source.

How should I store the bird food?

Store the unused portion in a cool, dry, and airtight container away from direct sunlight and strong odors to maintain freshness and prevent pest infestation.

Can I put this food out on the ground?

Yes, this mix is suitable for ground feeding as well as for use on bird tables and in feeders.

What is the shelf life of the seed mix?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the seed mix typically remains fresh for up to 6 months. Always check for signs of spoilage like mold or a musty smell before offering it to birds.

Does this mix contain any allergenic ingredients?

The mix contains peanuts (peanut nibs), which are a common allergen. Exercise caution if you or others in your household have severe peanut allergies.

Troubleshooting

No birds are visiting the feeder.

Ensure the feeder is placed in a safe, visible location. Try moving it closer to natural cover like bushes or trees. Check that the food is fresh and has not become damp or moldy. Consider adding a water source nearby.

Only large birds (e.g., pigeons) are eating the food.

Consider using a feeder with smaller openings or a hanging feeder that is more difficult for larger birds to access. Ground feeding naturally attracts larger species.

Food appears to be getting wet or moldy.

Ensure the feeder has adequate drainage and is not placed in an exposed, rainy spot. Remove any wet or moldy food immediately and clean the feeder thoroughly before refilling.

Seed mix seems to be attracting ants or other insects.

Clean the feeder regularly. Avoid overfilling the feeder. Consider placing the feeder on a stand with an ant baffle if the problem persists.
