I must have some picky eaters at my feeders. I tried safflower seed and none of the birds would eat it! No one eats millet either, so I don't buy mixes that contain millet. My blue jays love whole peanuts, suet nuggets and black oil sunflower seeds. I keep my suet cake feeders full for the Downeys and red bellied woodpeckers. The smaller birds; nuthatches, chickadees, junkos, and finches all love the black oil sunflowers. Cardinals come just before sunset and eat sunflower seed that I spread on the ground for them. I love watching the birds!
