 Entice 'vacationing' songbirds...
...to spend their summer in your backyard. And keep year round guests contented by serving a summertime spread of warm weather treats.
On the menu:
Live and dehydrated insects
Diced dried fruits
No-melt suets and more!
Adjust your "bird buffet" in the summer to appeal to fruit and insect eating songbirds. You'll entice new visitors to your yard and permanent "residents" will enjoy the variety.
Insects
Many birds can't get enough of this protein-rich delight and prefer a tasty meal of bugs to any other food! Bluebirds, robins, woodpeckers, and other birds particularly enjoy live and roasted mealworms. Pre-packaged mealworms are a convenient alternative. Ask Wild Bird Landing for additional information.
Nesting Mix
A new mix this year which includes roasted waxworms, a delectable treat for parenting birds and their nestlings! Nesting Mix is high in protein and is available at Wild Bird Landing in both small packages and 20# bags.
Fruit
Orioles, robins, mockingbirds, catbirds, tanagers, Cedar Waxwings, and bluebirds all love fruit. Most fruit-eaters are insect-eaters, not seed eaters, though there are exceptions, including the cardinal, which enjoys both seed and fruit. Locate your fruit feeder away from your seed feeders to give fruit eaters their own haven. See our pre-packaged dehydrated fruits for your feeding convenience.
Nuggets
The same birds which love insects and fruit are lovers of nuggets. These tender morsels are made in a variety of flavors and have suet in the recipes. Great for year-round feeding and especially welcome to birds feeding nestlings.
No-melt suet cakes and doughs
These "no-melt" miracle cakes really stand up to summer's heat! The secret is in the recipes of the heat-resistant suets that stave off melting. And this soft, smooth texture makes it the preferred food for nestlings. No-melts are available in a variety of flavors including hot-pepper, orange, peanut butter, and insect. Serve these special cakes in any standard suet feeder. Ask us for suggestions.
Enjoy each one of your feathered guests this summer!
