Valley Farms Fruit Nut & Berry Wild Bird Food — 15 lb High-Energy Mix with Sunflower & Peanuts

This carefully balanced mix supplies calorie-dense ingredients that attract a wide range of wild birds to tube, large-port, and open tray feeders. Crafted by a family-owned business in the USA, the 15-pound bag combines seeds, nutmeats, and dried fruit to encourage frequent visits from songbirds, woodpeckers, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, and jays.

What makes this blend suitable for backyard feeders?

The recipe prioritizes high-oil, favorite seeds and real nut pieces while avoiding unnecessary fillers. That energy-rich profile is particularly attractive during migration and cold-weather months when birds need extra calories. The format flows well through common feeder types and minimizes waste.

• High proportion of black oil sunflower for energy and easy shelling
• Peanut kernels to draw corvids and nut-loving species
• Safflower for increased variety and seed preference diversity
• Dried fruit pieces to add natural sugars and scent appeal

How do I use this mix with different feeder styles?

This blend performs well in many feeder designs — from platform and hopper feeders to wide-port tube feeders. Its mix of small seeds and larger kernel pieces prevents clogging in most large-port dispensers and allows open trays to showcase the colorful fruit bits. For best results, use feeders intended for mixed seed and check for spoilage after wet weather.

• Large-port tube feeders: pours freely and attracts a variety of species
• Open tray/platform feeders: shows fruit and nut pieces to entice birds
• Hopper feeders: stores well and dispenses consistently
• Not ideal for tiny-mesh sock feeders designed for single-seed mixes

Which birds are most likely to visit when I offer this food?

The combination of sunflower, peanuts, safflower, and dried berries appeals to both small songbirds and larger, nut-preferring visitors. Expect frequent visits from chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, and jays, plus woodpeckers and other garden birds that favor seeds and fruit. The mix is designed to attract a broad backyard audience without targeting a single species exclusively.

• Songbirds: chickadees, titmice, finches
• Woodpeckers: often attracted to nut pieces and safflower
• Corvids: jays and crows enjoy peanut kernels
• Mixed flocks: increased variety encourages diverse visitors
