Audubon Park Wild Bird Seed Extreme Variety 15-lb Bag — High-Energy Mix with Sunflower & Nuts

Audubon Park Extreme Variety Wild Bird Seed is a 15-lb premium blend designed to attract a wide range of colorful wild birds to tube, hopper, or platform feeders.

Bring more species to your yard with a thoughtfully balanced mix built from high-energy favorites like black oil sunflower, peanuts, sunflower hearts, striped sunflower, raisins, and assorted tree nuts. This formula was designed to appeal to finches, cardinals, titmice, nuthatches, juncos and many more, giving backyard birdwatchers a vibrant, active feeding station year-round.

What makes this blend more attractive to different bird species?

The Extreme Variety mix combines seeds, chips, nuts and dried fruit in proportions that satisfy both small and larger-beaked birds. High-oil seeds provide energy while nuts and hearts appeal to birds that prefer larger bites, increasing the number of species that will visit your feeders.

• Black oil sunflower seeds for high energy and easy husking
• Peanuts and tree nuts to attract jays and cardinals
• Sunflower hearts and chips for finches and smaller birds
• Raisins and fruit pieces to add variety and flavor

How should I use this seed with different feeder types?

This blend is versatile and suitable for tube, hopper, and platform feeders. Its mix of whole seeds and smaller pieces distributes well across feeders and reduces waste when used in the right feeder style for the birds you want to attract.

• Tube feeders: offer black oil sunflower and small chips to attract finches and chickadees
• Hopper feeders: support larger birds like cardinals and grosbeaks with mixed nuts
• Platform feeders: display raisins and mixed pieces for jays and ground-feeding species
• Avoid overly fine debris in tube feeders to prevent clogging

How often should I refill the feeder and store the bag?

Refill frequency depends on bird activity and feeder size—check feeders daily at peak migration or sunny winter days when birds visit often. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place and transfer opened seed to a sealed container to preserve freshness and deter pests.

• Inspect feeders daily when activity is high; refill as needed
• Use a sealed bin or airtight container for opened seed storage
• Keep seed off direct sunlight and moisture to prevent spoilage
• Rotate older seed first to maintain freshness

Will this seed support birds year-round?

The recipe is formulated for consistent appeal throughout the seasons, delivering high-energy seeds for cold months and varied textures and flavors for spring and fall. While suitable for year-round feeding, adjust quantities and feeder placement with changing weather and migration patterns.

• High-oil sunflower seeds give winter energy for cold weather
• Nuts and hearts provide sustenance for breeding and molting seasons
• Dried fruit pieces entice migrating species during spring and fall
• Adapt feeder maintenance seasonally to reduce mold and spoilage

Who is this for: Audubon Park Extreme Variety Wild Bird Seed is ideal for homeowners, hobby birdwatchers, and nature educators who want a single, convenient seed blend that draws diverse species. If you use tube, hopper, or platform feeders and want a simple, effective way to invite more cardinals, finches, nuthatches, juncos and other backyard favorites, this 15-lb bag offers a balanced, ready-to-use solution for steady bird activity and enjoyable viewing.
