my sister went to the store yesterday and seen a bird food thing. its more like a treat. it has a whole bunch of seeds in something really sticky that almost looks like peanut butter. we want to give it to her but we’re not sure if we should because we dont know if its okay to give a parrot something wild birds would usually eat.

I recently got Nutriphase® Safflower Blend for Cockatiels Bird Food

for my green cheek since he loves the safflower seeds and I thought it would be a blend with his pellet food (since I only pick out a few safflower from the mix to go with the pellets), and I’ve also noticed that he loves the buckwheat seeds in it as well, and I was wondering if it is healthy for him, or rather, healthier than the safflower seeds? so I can judge if it’s okay to put more in his blend, or make sure there isn’t a lot?

Can wild birds be fed seed meant for pet birds? I have blue jays,cardinals,sparrows,and european starlings mostly outside, and was wondering if I can feed them pet bird seed? I noticed some canary seed has color enhancing red coloring in the seed and i’m guessing this will help the cardinals be brighter color. What bird food for what species if it’s ok should I buy for them as a treat?

I want to start a bird feeder this summer but I am not sure what kind of bird food I should be using to attract birds that actually live around here. Which type of bird food would be best for a New England resident trying to attract birds other than sparrows?

I put my hummingbird feeder hanging off a hook on the pole I have regular bird food in (the seed kind). I know I have hummers, b/c I saw one this morning, but I have yet to see him actually drinking. So I wondered… do hummers mind having other birds near by? I’ve looked, but I haven’t been able to find this information online yet…
thank you!
My bird feeder station is a tall pole, about 5 feet off the ground. on the top is the seed feeder, and it’s got two side hooks. It’s the side hook the hummer feeder is hanging off of.
thanks for the information. I really am new to hummers, so I just wondered if they minded the other birds being so close. Glad to hear they don’t.

I am thinking of growing sunflowers, and was just reading online that some birdseed actually sprouts flowers when birds knock it onto the ground from the feeder, and i was wondering: If i buy birdseed that is only made up of sunflower seeds, will they grow into sunflower plants? Buying seeds to plant is more expensive than buying bird food, but isnt it the same thing? Thanks in advance!

What can she do to keep them out of the bird food ? She is feeding seed mixes and suet . The chipmunks are eating it all.
