types of bird feed:
Birds may be wary
of new foods. If you add something new to your bird-feeding station,
offer it in a familiar place. White proso millet attracts
a greater variety of birds than sunflower with the hulls on because
birds that normally could not crack open the shell can eat it. These
include woodpeckers, mockingbirds, wrens, and woodpeckers along with
chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, goldfinches, house finches, cardinals,
grosbeaks, sparrows, and jays.
