Lyric Chickadee Sunflower & Nut Wild Bird Seed 20 lb — High-Protein, No-Fillers Mix for Outside Feeders

Lyric Chickadee Sunflower & Nut Mix is a premium 20 lb wild bird seed blend of sunflower kernels, whole sunflower seeds and mixed nuts formulated to attract and energize chickadees and other backyard songbirds.

Bring more colorful, active songbirds to your yard with a high-fat, high-protein seed mix made for outside feeders. This Lyric blend combines shelled sunflower kernels, whole sunflower seeds and crunchy nuts—peanuts, pecans and pistachios—for birds that need calorie-dense food during cold weather, migration and nesting seasons. It’s suitable for hanging bowl-style feeders and most tube feeders and performs well when placed near trees where chickadees and nuthatches like to forage.

What exactly is in the Lyric Chickadee mix and why does it matter?

The recipe focuses on sunflower in both shelled and whole form plus intact nuts to deliver calories and accessible protein. These ingredients are favored by small songbirds that prefer larger kernels and high-energy morsels.

• Sunflower kernels: easy-to-eat, no shell mess for many feeder species
• Whole sunflower seeds: attract a wider range of birds like jays and woodpeckers
• Peanuts, pecans, pistachios: calorie-dense nuts for winter energy and breeding season
• No fillers: mix emphasizes seeds and nuts rather than grains or milo

How should I use this mix in my backyard feeders?

Use the Lyric Chickadee mix in bowl-style hanging feeders or in large-capacity tube feeders that accept mixed seeds and kernels. Position feeders near tree branches where chickadees and nuthatches feel secure; changing placement can increase visits.

• Fill hanging tray/bowl feeders for easy access and seed display
• Use wide-port tube feeders that handle kernels and nut pieces
• Mount feeders in or near trees to mimic natural foraging spots
• Keep feeders clean and dry to preserve nut freshness

Which bird species will this seed mix attract to my yard?

This blend is designed to draw small to medium-sized songbirds that favor sunflower and nuts. Expect to see chickadees, nuthatches and titmice frequently, plus visits from bluebirds, jays, woodpeckers and wrens when offered consistently.

• Chickadees and titmice: frequent kernel eaters
• Nuthatches and woodpeckers: attracted to whole seeds and nut pieces
• Bluebirds and wrens: attracted when mix is presented in open feeders
• Jays and larger songbirds: drawn to whole sunflower seeds and nuts

How does this 20 lb bag perform through seasons and storage tips?

A 20 lb bag supplies multiple feeders for weeks depending on traffic; the high-oil content is great for cold months but should be stored properly to stay fresh. Keep the bag sealed and in a cool, dry place to avoid mold and insect pests.

• Large bag size supports heavy feeder use and bird flocks
• Store sealed off the ground in cool, dry conditions
• Rotate stock: use older bags first to keep feed fresh
• Avoid exposing stored mix to heat and direct sunlight

Who this is for: Lyric Chickadee Sunflower & Nut Mix is ideal for backyard birders who want to attract a variety of songbirds—especially chickadees, nuthatches and titmice—using a high-energy, no-filler seed mix. It suits homeowners with hanging bowls or wider-port tube feeders, people in seasonal climates needing winter calories for wild birds, and anyone seeking a premium, nut-forward blend to create lively feeder activity without added grains or fillers.
