Wild bird seed on a budget ....
If you love to feed wild birds but are a bit put off by the expense of it then you will be happy to know that there are two types of wild bird seed that are very affordable, especially if bought in bulk. Sunflower seeds are an all purpose wild bird seed that is well loved by American gold finches, blue jays, cardinals, mourning doves, purple finches, titmice and sparrows. Birds that love millet are grackles, juncos, mourning doves and sparrows. Keep in mind that larger birds such as starlings, crows and seagulls also love these types of wild bird seed so you might want to practice a little discretion in how you spread this food around the yard. To buy wild bird seed and specialty mixtures that feed wild birds such as the brown headed cowbird and hummingbirds, check the recommended vendors listed below.
