Wild Bird Premium Mix

West Country Feeds and Seeds for Birds Premium Mix Birds adapted for eating seed and similar items such as pips and nuts. The best known examples are finches and sparrows, recognisable by their heavy conical bills suitable for crushing hard food. Some of these birds, like House Sparrows and Chaffinches, will also eat insects or feed them to their young. A variety of seed is available for catering for these species in the garden.

Our Wild Bird Premium Mix provides quickly usable energy and is very suitable for tubular feeders. Our two seed mixtures contain those seeds commonly used as foods for birds, for example sunflower seed and peanuts, perhaps combined with cereals like oats and wheat, and sometimes less well known ingredients such as the following:

canary seed, derived from an exotic grass and also obtainable separately
hemp seed, which is small and so very well suited to tits and the smaller finches
millet seed, which is also tiny in its grain size and is much used for cagebird

Whole oats can be fed to birds, but pinhead oatmeal is far more important. It can be bought on its own, the husks from the grain having been removed and the seed finely chopped, or it may be obtained as part of a seed mixture, combined with such ingredients as sunflower seed, peanuts, wheat or maize.

Some birds can eat whole wheat, for example doves and sparrows, but its main use in feeding birds is as an ingredient in seed mixtures, often combined with oats and maize.

	Contains no wheat, very high energy, good feed for breeding season and attracts a wide range of birds.
