What are the best foods?
Hi
Different birds eat different foods, which is why putting out a variety of foodstuffs will attract a wider range of species. Typical foods include:
* Peanuts – good traditional food, best loved by the tit family but also taken by starlings, sparrows and greenfinches
* Sunflower seeds – especially loved by greenfinches
* Mealworms/ waxworms – not for the squeamish, live food is increasingly popular, good in the breeding season for robins, wrens, thrushes and many more
* Nyjer/Niger Seeds – especially loved by goldfinches
* Fat cake – tits, blackcap
* Table seed (mixed corn/wheat/pinhead oats) – collared dove
Keep sharing and reading
Thanks
