Why Our WBU Bird Foods Are Best

There is a difference when it comes to the bird foods you use in your backyard—and your birds know it! You may wonder why it’s important to get bird seed, suet, and other foods from your local experts at WBU vs. picking up bargain seed at the grocery or hardware store. Here are some of the top reasons why:

Top Reasons to Buy Our Seed

VALUE

  • Did you know songbirds typically won't eat seeds like milo, red millet, flax, and wheat? These "fillers" make it seem like you're getting a lot of seed. But songbirds will kick this cheap stuff out of your feeder. That's your money down the drain and can attract rodents! And have you ever noticed moldy seed in a bargain bag? That’s another money waster, plus it's bad for your birds.
  • Our seed blends are 100% fresh seeds songbirds love—NO FILLERS.
  • Pound for pound, our No-Mess Blend offers the absolute best value because all seed shells have been removed. The birds eat everything that's in the bag, and no hulls on the seeds makes for tidier feeding.
  • When it comes to suet, ours have a higher amount of suet than the lower quality cakes. They also have high-protein ingredients added such as peanuts, peanut butter, mealworms and tree nuts. In contrast, "bargain" suet cakes have a high proportion of grain, which is inexpensive and adds little protein. The whole point of suet is to help provide the fat and protein birds need to stay healthy, particularly in winter. 

BIRDS LOVE OUR SEED!

Our bird foods are high in the nutrients and fats birds need and will keep coming back for. That means healthier, more colorful birds—and more viewing time for you.
