Bird Seed Blends to Attract Wild Birds to Your Backyard

Here is information on each of the 25 lb. bagged seed products available in Jay’s Seed Program. Each of these seed varieties are blended to my specifications so that you can attract the maximum number of birds.

	Premium Blend Jay’s Premium Blend Bird Seed is the best seed mix designed to attract the widest variety of wild birds. This blend contains six ingredients: black-oil sunflower, sunflower chips, striped sunflower, white proso millet, safflower and raw peanuts. We recommend feeding this blend in an elevated feeder. Jay’s Premium Blend Bird Seed works in the widest variety of habitats and is good at attracting an incredible variety of birds.
	Preferred Blend Jay’s Preferred Blend contains four ingredients: black-oil sunflower, striped sunflower, safflower and raw peanuts. This blend is recommended for areas where there are not very many ground feeding birds such as dove and quail. Preferred Blend is recommended for the Prescott area in forested areas such as Groom Creek, Walker, and Timberridge. It is recommended to feed this blend in an elevated feeder.
	Wasteless Blend Jay’s Wasteless Blend is just that – all of the ingredients in this blend have been removed from the shell so you are getting a mixture that is close to 100 percent edible. There are four ingredients in this blend: sunflower chips, white proso millet, cracked corn and raw split peanuts. This blend can be fed either in elevated feeders or directly on the ground. The advantage to feeding this blend is that the birds clean up whatever you put out so there are no hulls or husks littering the ground.
	Select Blend Jay’s Select Blend is geared for ground feeding purposes, and can be fed either directly on the ground, or in a platform or tray feeder placed either directly on the ground or near ground level. This blend has three ingredients: white proso millet, cracked corn and black-oil sunflower. This blend is designed to attract Gambel’s quail, mourning doves, spotted and canyon towhees, dark eyed juncos and white-crowned sparrows.
	Half ‘n’ Half Jay’s Half ‘n Half Blend has only two ingredients in equal amounts: black-oil sunflower seed and white proso millet. The two ingredients in this blend are the two most popular seeds desired by wild birds. This blend is designed to cater to both feeder birds (birds that prefer to feed at elevated feeders) and ground feeding birds such as dove, towhee and quail.
	Sunflower Chips This seed product is often referred to as sunflower hearts or nuts. This product is 100% black-oil sunflower seeds out of the shell, and is screened to have no more than two percent waste materials in it. Sunflower chips are commonly fed in a tube feeder and are effective in attracting a variety of species such as finches, nuthatches and chickadees. The advantage to feeding sunflower chips is that you do not have the hulls and husks from the black-oil sunflower seeds littering the ground.
	Black-oil Sunflower This seed product is 100% black-oil sunflower seed in the shell, screened to have no more than 2% waste materials. Black-oil sunflower is best fed in an elevated feeder instead of down on the ground. Black-oil sunflower is effective at attracting a wide variety of bird species such as grosbeaks, finches, nuthatches, chickadees, titmice, etc.
	White Proso Millet This seed product is 100% white-proso millet. This product is specifically geared to attracting ground feeding birds. Millet can be fed directly on the ground by broadcasting the seed as if you were feeding the chickens, or you can put it in a ground feeder such as a platform or tray feeder. Millet is preferred by ground feeding birds such as Gambel’s quail, mourning doves, spotted and canyon towhees, and a variety of sparrows.

Seeds, Fruits & Nuts Attract Wild Birds

Jay’s Bird Barn also sells the following seed, fruit and nut products which are not part of the Seed Program:

Nyjer (thistle)

Nyjer seed, formerly called thistle, is the best way to attract lesser goldfinches to your yard. Nyjer should only be fed in feeders designed for nyjer seed due to its small size. Nyjer is also effective in attracting house finches, Cassin’s finches, pine siskins and American goldfinches–depending on where you live and what your habitat is. Nyjer is sterilized so it cannot germinate and produce weeds. Nyjer is available in one gallon jugs, and 10 lb.and 50 lb. bags.

Finch Blend

This blend is not the same thing as nyjer seed. This is a blend of small seeds which appeal to finches, buntings and ground feeding birds. This blend has nine ingredients: white proso millet, golden German millet, red proso millet, red Siberian millet, canary seed, oat groats, canola seed, flax seed and nyjer seed. Due to the small sized seeds in this blend it should be fed in a feeder where the seed cannot spill out easily. Finch blend comes in a 25 lb. bag.

Seed Fruit and Nut Blend

The Seed Fruit and Nut Blend is truly a gourmet blend, designed to attract both seed and fruit eating varieties of birds. There are six ingredients in this blend: cracked corn, sunflower chips, raisins, pecan pieces, papaya dices and cherries. It is recommended that this blend be fed in either a tray or platform feeder due to the size of the ingredients, it would clog a ‘regular’ feeder. This blend comes in a 20 lb. bag.

Sunflower Fruit and Nut Blend

The Sunflower Fruit and Nut Blend is also a gourmet blend, designed to attract both seed and fruit eating varieties of birds. There are seven ingredients in this blend: black-oil sunflower, striped sunflower, papaya dices, raisins, sunflower chips, pecan pieces and cherries. It is recommended that this blend be fed in either a tray or platform feeder due to the size of the ingredients, as it would clog a ‘regular’ feeder. This blend comes in a 20 lb. bag.

Peanuts in the shell

Whole raw peanuts in the shell are a favorite for attracting western scrub jays, Stellar’s jays, and woodpeckers to your yard. Peanuts in the shell are available in 5 and 25lb. bags.

Whole raw peanuts out of the shell

Raw peanuts out of the shell are effective in attracting a variety of birds such as jays, nuthatches, woodpeckers, titmice and chickadees. Raw peanuts are typically fed in a tube feeder with a wire mesh, but can also be fed in tray and platform feeders. Raw peanuts out of the shell are available in 1 gallon jugs and 50 lb. bags.
