February is the month where love is celebrated, and we don't want the birds to be left out! So for the love of birds...

February Is National Bird Feeding Month. Here's to Full Hearts and Full Feeders!

Have your backyard birds ever turned up their beaks at food? 

Wild Birds Unlimited bird food is specially designed so that the birds will not turn up their beaks at it. Fresh, high quality bird food, without all of the filler ingredients. Many bird foods contain red milo, oats and other fillers that not only lower the price, but the quality. It is important to ensure that the bird food you provide in your feeders provides for the birds' needs and attracts more of them to your feeder!

Filler feeds can help lower the price, but you may be getting less bang for your buck. Often times, there is more waste, because the birds are economic. They eat the foods that provide for their nutritional needs. They may also be less interested in your feeder. 

When you're buying bird food, you should also consider the types of birds that you are looking to attract. Ground feeding birds are more attracted to millet and will eat the leftovers from the birds eating at the feeder. Other types of birds have specific foods that best meet their needs and satisfy their taste buds. If you want to attract a larger variety of birds, we offer feeder systems  to help you have multiple bird feeders and bird houses like this one. If you prefer a hanging system you can hang your bird feeders and decorations. 

While we are talking about attracting birds, we also want to keep the other critters way. Our Hot Pepper products help to do this, while still being good for the birds, and interesting to them, too! You might also want to check out our Baffle products which help deter various critters like squirrels and racoons. 

Birds love of our food! Find out more about why here
