Wild bird food

Now I have a garden where I can actually feed the birds I'm thinking of buying food for them in bulk. Has anyone suggestions of where to buy from please?

 

I have set up my feeder and need to add more seed. I keep seeing the "no corn" vs whatever and I still don't know which is best.

The beakie crowd do seem to throw the millet all over because it is light, I'm guessing that part, so id be interested in hearing about the mix on favoured products

What's in yours?

Not had any problems with them

 

@Jiffy , Should they be called " Most expensive " not cheapest "
They're double the price from Pet Superstore.

 

I should have made my question a little clearer. Obviously I would not have access to the same brands here so I was wondering what seed mix (i.e. % of corn, sunflower etc) works the best?

 

I feed straights which are, wheat, black sunflower, sunflower hearts, niger, peanuts and a mix which has in it, cut maize,naked oats,red dari,yellow millet,red millet,white dari and black sunflower

Some bird feed mix's will have a high % of wheat as a filler (cheaper) and if there has been any problem in the storage you may get a problem with bugs/insects as a member found out, so watch out for insects and bugs as you don't want them in your house

 

My only recommendation is to buy 'no mess' seed. I usually just google 25kg and go for the cheapest. I also buy 300 fat balls on a monthly basis. I made a huge mistake last month as there what looked like a great buy which wasn't a no mess mix. How bad could it be. Horrendous to be clear. I have 14 seed feeders all on different surfaces. Every one of them are in such a state I'm set aside 4 full days to clean up what is now growing around the bases. It's the stuff of nightmares. My garden is certified wildlife habitat so you know I can put up with a fair amount of mess. I may post photos of the devastation. Only no mess will be my pic.

 

@CanadianLori

Corn in the UK is known as wheat and barley, where as you may know corn as Maize in the usa and not sure Canada

 

Maize is corn here. The stuff that grows on cobs.

Wheat and barley are just that. We don't call them anything different.

When I refer to corn, I am referencing the actual kernels from the cob.

There seems to be a fair amount of corn, at least it appears so, in our bird feeder mixes. Just was wondering what the difference is between your/our mixes.

 

I know the postage is in the price but it's not that price then postage on top, but if your like me in the middle of nowhere and the near pet shop is 15 miles away it's cheaper then going to get it, Sheal may be the same
