FAQs

What kind of birds will this mix attract?

This mix is specially formulated for goldfinches. However, other finches, such as chaffinches, greenfinches, siskin, and redpoll, may also be attracted.

How often should I refill the feeders?

Refill the feeders as needed, depending on the number of birds visiting and the size of your feeder. Check feeders regularly, especially during peak feeding times and colder months.

How should I store the bird seed?

Store the bird seed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent pests.

Can I use this mix in a ground feeder?

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

What are the ingredients in the mix?

The mix includes Niger seed, canary seed, red millet, linseed, rapeseed, safflower seed, mixed wild seeds, and vegetable oil.

Is this mix suitable for all seasons?

Yes, this mix can be used throughout the year. However, birds' dietary needs may change with the seasons; monitor the birds' behaviour and adjust your feeding strategy accordingly.

How can I clean my bird feeders?

Clean feeders regularly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before refilling to prevent the spread of diseases.

What if I see mould in the seed mix?

Discard any seed mix that shows signs of mould or spoilage. Clean and dry the feeder before refilling it with fresh seed.

Troubleshooting

Feeders are not attracting goldfinches.

Ensure the feeder is clean and properly positioned. Experiment with different locations and feeder types. Check if the food is fresh, and consider adding a small amount of water to the seed mix in dry climates.

Other birds are eating all the food.

Use a feeder designed to deter larger birds, such as a cage feeder that only allows smaller birds access. Consider putting out less food at a time to reduce waste.

The seed mix is getting wet and clumping.

Use a feeder with a roof or cover to protect the food from rain. Clean and dry the feeder regularly to prevent mold.
