We may try to attract wild bird by bird feeders to come to our backyard. In fact, we are able to invite hummingbirds with sugary solution.

- Attracting Hummingbirds by Suitable Feeder at Backyard
Our neighborhoods use mainly commercial bird foods bought in groceries (pet shops).
The problem with the commercial bird foods is a good meal for other wild animals such as:
- squirrels
- raccoon
- rats
Some friends told that wildlife may ride the feeders without giving a chance to birds to consume a single bite.

Other animals include deer and bears are interesting with feeders as well. And, even bears able to breaking the feeders to deplete all foods.

Few neighbors suggested to use pepper seed to feed wild birds. Most birds love these seeds.
They observed that other animals did not touch the pepper seed. The following animals are avoiding the seed:
- rodent
- squirrels
- raccoon
Should We use Pepper seed to feed wild birds? Yes, I will try this kind of bird food by next spring.
Do you have any special foods to invite wild bird?

I usually trow away these seeds, and since we live in a city, actually we are not allowed to feed birds because we already have big problems with some birds like pigeons and seagulls that growing in number and become quite agressive, with people and smaller birds.
ReplyDeleteI will remember this tip the next time I will make a trip in nature because I am sure there wil be many happy wild birds.

I never heard of feeding the birds pepper seeds. I will definitely try this out as we use a lot of peppers. We use regular bird seed in two of our feeders, sunflowers seed in one and thistle seed ibn the other. My daughter has to bring her birdfeeder in at night as the bears love to eat/destroy her bird feeder. Thanks for the info and have a great Sunday! Be Safe!

You know I had birds pecking at my green peppers so I wondered if they were going for the seeds, never thought to feed the ones I empty out to them though.
ReplyDeleteInteresting information. Thanks for sharing.

I discard these seeds. I live in the city and I don't have bird feeders. But it's interesting information.
