Mr. Bird Bugs, Nuts & Fruit Cylinder Wild Bird Food — 6-Pack 1 lb 8 oz, No-Mess High-Protein Blend

Mr. Bird Bugs, Nuts & Fruit Cylinder is a handcrafted, no-mess wild bird food cylinder combining mealworms, pecans, sunflower hearts, raisins, and cranberries to attract a wide variety of backyard birds year-round.

This six-pack of 1 lb 8 oz cylinders delivers a concentrated, high-protein feeding option for outdoor feeders. Individually wrapped for freshness, each cylinder is designed to resist melting in warm weather, minimize waste, and fit standard cylinder-style feeders such as the Mr. Bird EZFeeder. Made in the USA by a family-owned company with decades of experience, the recipe prioritizes ingredients birds actually eat instead of cheap fillers.

Which backyard birds are most likely to visit a Bugs, Nuts & Fruit cylinder?

This blend is formulated to appeal to insect-eating and seed-eating species that favor protein and fruit. Expect visits from cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees, bluebirds, nuthatches, and other common backyard species throughout the year.

• Mealworms attract insectivores like bluebirds and nuthatches.
• Pecans and peanuts draw larger seed-eaters such as cardinals and woodpeckers.
• Sunflower hearts provide an easily eaten energy source for small birds like chickadees.
• Dried fruit (raisins and cranberries) entices fruit-preferring visitors and adds variety.

How does the cylinder format help with feed longevity and cleanup?

The compact, no-mess cylinder keeps ingredients bound so they don’t scatter and go to waste. Because the formula resists melting in warm weather, it lasts longer between refills and reduces the frequency of messy cleanups under your feeder.

• No loose seed scatter under the feeder — less ground waste and fewer pests.
• Resists breaking or melting in summer heat compared with softer cakes.
• Individual wrapping preserves freshness until you’re ready to hang a cylinder.

Will this cylinder fit my feeder and how should I mount it?

The cylinder is designed for standard cylinder-style holders and pairs well with Mr. Bird’s EZFeeder and Cylinder Feeder. You can hang it or slot it into compatible feeders for a stable, bird-accessible presentation.

• Fits most cylinder feeders and compatible hanging setups.
• Works indoors on covered porches or outdoors in backyard feeders.
• Each cylinder’s weight and shape make it easy to position securely without extra hardware.

What ingredients are included and why were they chosen?

The recipe focuses on nutrient-dense, bird-preferred items: protein-rich mealworms, energy-dense pecans and peanuts, sunflower hearts for easy feeding, and dried fruits for variety. The goal is to use no cheap filler so more of the cylinder is attractive to birds.

• Mealworms provide a concentrated protein source for insectivorous species.
• Pecans and peanuts supply fats and calories for active birds.
• Sunflower hearts offer a clean, hull-free seed option that many birds favor.
• Raisins and cranberries add taste and diversity to appeal to fruit-eating visitors.

Who is this for? Mr. Bird Bugs, Nuts & Fruit Cylinder is ideal for backyard birders who want a low-maintenance feeding option that attracts a broad mix of species. It suits homeowners who prefer higher-quality bird food without fillers, people who host birdwatching guests, and anyone pairing seed with cylinder or hanging feeders. The six-pack format is convenient for repeat use, gifting to fellow birders, or stocking a seasonal feeding rotation.
