Because of its high oil content, cracked corn is considered a "heat" food necessary for the birds' high metabolism. Squirrels also enjoy cracked corn.

Bird Feeders
Feeding the birds and birdwatching is one of the nations fastest growing pastimes. There are many types of feeders and each will attract different birds. The bird seeds and food you put out will also determine which birds (and animals) will come to your feeders.
Some birds want to eat on the ground while others prefer eating while hanging upside down!
Our staff can help you choose the right feeder - the size of the holes in a feeder and the length of the perches attract different birds.
Place you feeder in a spot that is easy to see and easy to refill. It is best to place it near cover, such as a thick evergreen tree. The birds will feel safer coming to your feeder. If the birds do not come to your feeder right away, try sprinkling a handful of seed on the ground under the feeder.
Our backyards and gardens will soon be greening…and songbirds are already embarking on a new cycle of life. Create your own bird-friendly habitat with nesting spots, nesting materials, bird foods and water for busy ‘parents’ and their fast growing nestlings.
Accent your retreat with this season’s fresh designs: from bird feeders to garden statuary. And we know you’re passionate about your squirrels--whether you consider them to be friend or foe! We’ve got great squirrel solutions—feeders to stop them and feeders to serve and distract them.

Black Oil Sunflower - Black oil sunflower seeds have long been the staple for backyard bird feeding. It has a high percentage of meat and is a very nutritious source of quality protein. The seed also boasts a high concentration of oil, which is especially important in the winter. Birds will spread oil from their oil glands over their feathers to keep them buoyant, dry and warm. The black oil sunflower attracts a wide variety of birds and its shell is easily cracked open, even by birds with small beaks.
Songbird Premium Blend - Songbid Mix is specially formulated to accommodate all of your feathered friends. Consisting of 50% of black oil sunflower seed, grain products, peanut pieces, safflower and sunflower meats, this blend is produced to help reduce waste and keep your feeder area clean. The high concentration of oil seed also provides the birds with maximum energy, which is especially important during migration and the cold winter months.
High Country Custom Mix - High Country Custom Mix is specially blended for our store to be an affordable blend that birds love!
Cheep Cheep - Cheep Cheep is formulated to accommodate the price concience back yard birder. A little more cracked corn in this blend makes it perfect for birds and wildlife.
Medium Chip Sunflower Hearts - Sunflower Chips are the ideal bird feed for anyone who enjoys the variety of birds attracted to black oil sunflower seeds, but hates the mess they leave behind. Black oil sunflower kernels provide a source of high energy and oil for birds, which is especially important during migration and the cold winter months. Birds will spread oil from their oil glands over their feathers to keep them buoyant, dry and warm. Unlike black oil sunflower seeds, the kernels have no hull that would collect under your feeder causing an unsightly mess.
Raw Peanuts - Feed larger birds and squirrels in your yard using Peanuts in the Shell. Large birds such as crows and jays enjoy peanuts, and squirrels often enjoy pilfering them. The inquisitive nature of squirrels leads to your entertainment while watching them try to shell a peanut. 
Critter Crunch Mix - Critter Crunch attracts both feathered and furry wildlife and they can be equally fascinating and fun to watch. Many of the same quality seeds and nuts that attract and nourish the birds that we so enjoy having visit are also flavor favorites of squirrels, raccoons, deer and chipmunks. Wherever possible, create a separate and distant feeding area for your fuzzy friends. Birds can eat without competition from squirrels by designating a specific area where they are consistently fed.
Safflower - Safflower seed is often used as a substitute for black oil sunflower seed. Safflower seed, like black oil sunflower seed, is high in protein and fat; but, unlike black oil sunflower seed, it discourages starlings, grackles, and squirrels from feeding. Safflower seed is a favorite of cardinals and a number of other common bird feeder visitors. Simply mix safflower seed with black oil sunflower seed for a short time to eventually feed safflower seed exclusively.
Nyjer Thistle - Nyjer seed (thistle seed) is rich in nourishing oil and is perfect for drawing large numbers of smaller songbirds without attracting squirrels and larger birds. Nyjer seed is ideal for establishing a separate feeding zone for your small songbirds.
White Prosso Millet - White proso millet is a major ingredient in many wild bird seed mixes, but it is also wonderful to offer to birds just by itself. The tiny seeds of white proso millet are desirable to many species of birds but it is a hands-down favorite of some species, especially doves, juncos, native sparrows, towhees, quail and bobwhite. An incredibly beautiful bird species, the Western tanager, will devour white proso millet even though they are not generally considered to be attracted to seeds at all.
Valencia Peanuts - Valencia Peanuts are peanut halves and whole out of the shell that are raw. Very high quality peanuts that the Jays & squirrels will love. Be the envy of your neighborhood by having all the birds in your yard.
Peanut Hearts - Many people who add peanuts to the bird food menu in their backyards discover that many species prefer them to the "BOSS" of all wild bird foods, black oil sunflower seeds. Birds enjoy them so much that special "peanut feeders" now exist so that the birds that love them the most – woodpeckers, titmice, chickadees, and nuthatches – have a better chance at keeping them to themselves. These feeders are usually made of wire mesh that require a bird to cling to it in order to get at the peanuts inside, thereby making it more difficult for species like doves and sparrows to eat them.
Ear Corn - Squirrels, large birds, and a variety of other backyard wildlife enjoy munching on ear corn. Ear corn can be used to distract squirrels from your other bird feeders. Simply place a diversionary squirrel feeder with ear corn at least 20 feet from your bird feeders to distract squirrels. Use ear corn to attract deer and other backyard wildlife into your yard.
