FEEDING WILD BIRDS:
Recently I talked with one of our Customers, and his
complaint focused on how much seed he found "wasted on
the ground". After some discussion, he related that he
was trying to attract Finches and that he was feeding
Thistle seed & occasionally, Fine Sunflower Meats, from
a tube type feeder. I asked him to point to a tube
feeder in the store that resembled his. BINGO... he
pointed directly to a tube feeder with LARGE feeding
ports (holes), that was meant only to dole out Larger,
combination seeds, like Black Oil and Safflower &
general purpose mixes.
BE AWARE of the
difference in tube feeders, & their intended uses,
before you buy them. Ask questions. Thistle seed is too
valuable to watch it pour out of the ports of the
feeder... & onto the ground. There are TWO basic types of
Tube Feeders:
1.) Tube Feeders with
SMALL ports/holes: These are meant to stingily dole out
just one or two fine grade seeds at a time, like Thistle
seed, Fine Sunfl. Meats, Millet.
2.) Tube Feeders with
LARGE ports/holes: These are meant to dole out larger
grade seeds, commonly called a "combination seed mix".
This is the general purpose Mixed seed, you find in most
"Wild Birdseed Mixes", blended with Black Oil and
striped Sunflower, Safflower, millets, and usually some
cracked corn.
HINT: BUY
THE RIGHT FEEDER, FOR THE SEEDS YOU ARE FEEDING.
