PICARDIE - Canary Seed

CANARY SEED

SUITABLE FOR MANY WILD BIRDS

Canary seed is an excellent addition to a wild bird feeding program because it's highly nutritious, easy to digest, and attracts a variety of desirable backyard birds.

Why feed canary seed to wild birds ?

• Rich in Energy : Canary seed is packed with carbohydrates and protein, providing birds with the energy they need for daily activity, migration, and staying warm during colder months.
• Highly Digestible : Its thin hull makes it easier for many small birds to crack and digest compared to some larger seeds.
• Less waste around feeders : Since birds eagerly eat canary seed, there's typically less seed left behind compared to fillers found in lower-quality seed mixes.
• Great Source of Protein : Protein supports healthy feathers, muscle maintenance, and breeding birds during nesting season.
• Less Attractive to some nuisance visitors : While squirrels and larger birds may still eat it, canary seed is generally more appealing to small songbirds, making it a good choice if your goal is to attract colorful backyard birds.

Best Ways to offer it ?

Mix it with black oil sunflower, nyjer, or millet for a balanced blend. Use tube feeders, hopper feeders, or platform feeders. Keep feeders clean and refill with fresh seed regularly.
