Evergreen Farm and Garden Birdseed Cylinders 2-Pack, Small Hole-Centered Seed & Mixed Nuts, Low-Mess

Evergreen Farm and Garden Neat Beak Birdseed Cylinders are a tidy two-pack of small, hole-centered seed and nut cylinders designed to attract a wide variety of songbirds to your yard.

These compact birdseed cylinders combine sunflower chips, shelled peanuts, pistachios, almonds, walnuts, cashews and pecans into a neat, hole-centered shape that hangs or mounts easily outside. The formulation emphasizes high-energy seeds and nuts that appeal to many common backyard songbirds, while the clean cylindrical form helps reduce loose seed and lawn mess. Each order contains two small cylinders intended for short-term refills or to place in multiple viewing spots.

What types of birds will this seed cylinder attract?

This Neat Beak mix is crafted to appeal to a broad selection of songbirds that favor seeds and nuts. Species commonly drawn to sunflower and shelled nuts—such as chickadees, cardinals, titmice, nuthatches and finches—are likely visitors. Because the cylinders hold larger kernels and nut pieces, ground-feeding species may visit beneath feeders to snack on dropped bits.

• Sunflower chips attract finches and cardinals
• Peanuts and pistachios draw nuthatches and woodpeckers
• Mixed nuts appeal to chickadees and titmice
• Cylinder shape reduces spillage, so less seed reaches the ground

How do I hang or mount the small cylinder in my yard?

The small cylinder includes a central hole for simple hanging on hooks, poles, or specialized holders. It can be threaded onto a metal hanger or slipped onto a wooden spool placed on a feeder post. Position the cylinder at a comfortable viewing height and away from dense cover that could hide predators.

• Thread onto standard squirrel-proof hooks or shepherd’s crooks
• Place on a short pole or branch 4–6 feet above ground for safety
• Keep 10–15 feet from window glass to reduce collision risk
• Use two cylinders to create multiple feeding stations or staggered viewing

Will these cylinders create a lot of mess in my yard?

The cylindrical format and larger kernel mix minimize airborne dust and tiny hulls compared with loose seed bags. Because the feed contains larger pieces and holds together, there is less scattering across the lawn. However, some nut and seed fragments will naturally fall beneath the feeder and may attract ground-feeding birds.

• Dense cylinder shape reduces loose chaff and small fragments
• Larger nut pieces mean less blowaway from wind
• Place a tray or baffle below to catch occasional drop feed
• Rotate placement to prevent localized seed build-up

How long does one small cylinder last and how should I store extras?

Longevity depends on the number of visiting birds and their feeding habits; a single small cylinder is best for short-term or light feeding and often lasts days to a week in moderate gardens. Store unused cylinders in a cool, dry place in their original wrap or an airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent pests. If humidity is high, refrigeration (not freezing) in an airtight container can extend shelf life.

• Typical use: several days to one week, depending on bird traffic
• Store extras in a sealed, dry container away from pests
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent oil rancidity in nuts
• Check cylinders periodically for mold or moisture before hanging

Who is this for: Evergreen Farm and Garden Neat Beak Birdseed Cylinders suit backyard birdwatchers who prefer a low-mess, high-appeal option for attracting songbirds. Ideal for homeowners, balcony bird lovers, and gardeners who want convenient, short-run feed solutions that showcase colorful, active visitors. If you want easy-to-hang cylinders that combine premium seeds and nuts to entice a variety of songbirds without handling loose bulk, this two-pack is a practical choice.
