Black-Oil Sunflower Seed

- Considered the #1 best sunflower seed to feed and attract the greatest variety of birds here's why.

Rich in oil, black oil sunflower seeds give birds the energy they need to live. The thin shell makes it an easy bird seed to open, even for the smaller birds.

Offer this type of food in a Hopper Style Feeder or Squirrel Proof Tube Type bird feeder.

You'll attract Cardinals, Nuthatches, finches, and a variety of others.

- While not a bird seed, so many birds are attracted to suet that I'll add it to this article.

They make the base of the suet from beef fat. Most stores that offer seed also offer suet.

You'll find a wide variety of suet types. Suet will be mixed with birdseed, berries, peanut butter, and a variety of other things birds like.

Some birds that enjoy suet are Black-capped Chickadees, Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, and Wrens.
