“Various species of tits, nuthatches, siskins, and greenfinches especially love them. Seeds contain fats that are essential for birds on cold winter nights,” explains ecologist Victoria MAZANIK.

House and field sparrows enjoy millet seeds and crushed oatmeal. Canola seeds are favored by siskins, bullfinches, and greenfinches. Flaxseed adds good variety to the feed mixture. It is best eaten by nuthatches, greenfinches, bullfinches, and other bird species.

Scatter treats for the feathered friends daily as needed in the morning and 1-2 hours before darkness falls, so that the birds go to roost well-fed, especially on frosty evenings.”
