Description

Black Oil Sunflower Seeds are the #1 choice for feeding wild birds. Made with the freshest, locally blended seed and bagged daily in Delano, Minnesota using the highest quality ingredients. Black oil sunflowers are high in protein and fat, helping birds survive during colder months. They have very thin shells, easy for virtually all seed eating birds to crack open.

Everything You Need to Attract Birds

Selecting the right bird seed mix can attract a diverse array of backyard birds to your outdoor space. Consider the birds in your area and the types of feeders you have available. For general feeding, a mix like the Meadow Ridge Farms Premium Wild Bird Mix offers a variety of seeds and grains to appeal to a wide range of birds. If you're targeting specific species, specialized feeds like black oil sunflower seeds for cardinals or nyjer seed for finches can be ideal. Don't forget about suet cakes and mealworms to attract woodpeckers and insect-eating birds. At Gertens, we carry a variety of Meadow Ridge Farms bird feeds to suit your backyard birdwatching needs.
