Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast Spicy Wild Bird Seed, 2-Pack 2 lb Resealable Bags — Squirrel-Resistant High-Energy Blend

Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast is a spicy, squirrel-resistant wild bird seed blend in resealable 2 lb bags designed to attract seed-eating songbirds while discouraging nuisance mammals.

Bring vibrant backyard bird activity without feeding squirrels. This handcrafted Mr. Bird formula mixes nutrient-rich seeds, suet nuggets, mealworms and a touch of hot pepper oil so cardinals, bluebirds and other wild birds find it irresistible while mammals that detect capsaicin leave it alone. Packaged in two 2 lb resealable bags, the Flaming Hot Feast offers easy sampling and fresh storage for smaller feeders or trial runs before committing to larger sizes.

How does Flaming Hot Feast appeal to backyard birds?

The blend emphasizes high-energy ingredients birds naturally seek: sunflower hearts for fat and protein, peanuts for sustained fuel, and mealworms to attract insectivores. Suet nuggets add extra calories, especially useful in cooler months, and the texture mix encourages varied species to feed together. Birds lack receptors for capsaicin’s burn, so they enjoy the flavor while mammals are deterred.

• Sunflower hearts and peanuts — concentrated calories and easy cracking
• Mealworms and suet — protein-rich items preferred by insectivores
• Blended texture encourages cardinals, bluebirds, titmice and warblers
• Hot pepper oil provides mammal deterrent without affecting birds

Will this seed really keep squirrels away from my feeders?

Flaming Hot Feast is formulated with capsaicin-containing hot pepper oil that most mammals find unappealing. Squirrels detect the heat and are typically discouraged from eating the mix, while birds are unaffected. For best results, use with tray or hopper feeders and combine with good feeder placement to reduce ground access.

• Capsaicin-based deterrent safe for birds, unpalatable to squirrels
• Works best in feeders elevated or away from jump points
• Small 2 lb resealable bags let you test effectiveness before buying larger bags

How is the product packaged to stay fresh and easy to use?

Each 2 lb bag is heat-sealed and resealable, locking out moisture and insects after opening. The smaller bag size makes it simple to pour into feeders without waste, and two bags let you rotate supply or keep a backup. The no-mess format is tailored for homeowners with squirrel-prone yards who don’t want to store bulk quantities.

• Heat-sealed initial packing for long shelf life
• Resealable closure prevents moisture and pest intrusion
• Two compact 2 lb bags for easy handling and trial sampling

Where does Mr. Bird make Flaming Hot Feast and why might that matter?

Mr. Bird is a family-owned brand making handcrafted backyard bird foods in New Braunfels, Texas, since 1996. The small-batch approach emphasizes ingredient selection and mix consistency, reflecting decades of backyard-observer experience. Buying from a U.S.-based producer supports domestic manufacturing and often results in faster product turnover for fresher seed.

• Made in New Braunfels, Texas, by a family-owned company
• Small-batch crafting intended to ensure consistent blends
• Perfect for sampling before upgrading to larger 4, 8, or 14 lb sizes
