Seed

Our commitment to our customers is to sell only quality seed and mixes that are proven to be eaten by birds in scientific testing and are free of “junk” filler seeds that attract pest birds. I am driven by our customer’s desire to attract the greatest variety of birds to their backyards. Our custom blends are the result of my years of bird study experience and desire to be honest with our consumers. Cheap bags from big box stores may look economically smart but they truly are not. They are generally filled with filler seeds such as milo, wheat, oats, cracked corn and others. These seeds are grains that are inexpensive to grow, but they are not desirable for most of the seed eating birds you want to attract. To attract desirable species like Northern Cardinals, American Goldfinches and others, you should offer seeds like sunflower, sunflower and peanuts.

Another of our goals is to offer only quality seed. Not all bags of sunflower are created equal. It is rather obvious when you open a bag of seed and it is loaded with pieces of sticks, stems, rocks and empty hulls. What is not so obvious in poor quality seed bags are the number of empty seeds that there are in the bag. Our supplier is extra selective when purchasing seed from farmers and/or silos. He makes sure each delivery is weighed carefully to ensure the proper “meat” weight is there. He will refuse whole shipments if they do not meet his standards. Sometimes that may mean our prices may be a little higher than a competitor but we are willing to bet that our customers get a better bag of bird seed.
