What are the most popular bird seeds to use?

Question by: Kathryn Tator on Oct 23, 2020, 12:10 PM

Black Oil Sunflower Seed is the most popular bird seed. It is much smaller than the traditional sunflower seed. It is best for those birds with smaller bills, such as the sparrow, junco and goldfinch.

How do I prevent seeds from sprouting under my feeder?

Question by: Kathryn Tator on Oct 23, 2020, 12:13 PM

You will need to sterilize your seed to prevent it from germinating. This will not alter the attractiveness or the nutritional value of the seed in any way. Some store-bought seed will already be sterilized and will often state this on the packaging.

I purchased a version of this "Country House" bird feeder from Rural King on 12-24-2024. Overall, it's the same design. However, the roof and cardinal latching mechanism are different. The cardinal freely pivots to rest horizontally on the roof, and I can't see any means by which it can be fixed in the vertical position and stand like a weathervane, as is the intention. Also, the roof latching mechanism lacks the stop tabs that are apparent in the video on this website, so it doesn't lock as securely. I'm guessing I've purchased some old stock of a since improved upon design. I'd appreciate any guidance or replacement parts that could make this birdhouse fully functional.
Thanks, Jon

One additional question that I forgot in the previous email. Is the small pole mounting bracket supposed to be included inside the birdhouse? I see that it is included in the video on this website, however my birdhouse did not have one included.
Thanks, Jon
