Mill Creek Wild Bird Seed

Mill CreekSeed Co™ Seed Bags are now Oxo-Degradable.  They have introduced the new Oxo-degradable clear bags as our old stock of regular bags deplete.  All  bags are in the Oxo-degradable material.  These bags have limited life and will degrade in a two stage process.  The bags will disintegrate naturally.

  

    Mill Creek Blends

 Garden Friendly:

In the spring most people who feed the birds will realize the misery of cleaning the mess from around their feeders as a result of several months worth of shell build up. In the spring this debris gets quite smelly and ugly. Garden Friendly contains only food so there is no waste or debris on the ground and anything that does drop to the ground gets eaten. . Additionally there will be a garden pay off later in the spring since this blend will not germinate; thus no weeds ! All other mixes tend to sprout several different plants that many gardeners prefer not to see (nor weed).
  

 Seasons Woodland:

 

After several years of research we have discovered that birds tend to live in either wooded areas or open meadows. As well, since birds migrate, breed, contend with different weather conditions and feed their young during different times of the year, their needs vary depending on the season. To accommodate these differences we have formulated two different “Seasonally Adjusted” blends to fit the needs of different birds’ needs during different times of the year.

Seasonally Adjusted Woodland has these features. Each season, we combine 32 different ingredients to provide the birds with the best possible nutrition available. The spring formulation is high in protein for muscle development and stamina (migration, breeding & food collection for their young). It contains fruit for migratory fruit eating birds. It contains oyster shell to help digestion and add needed calcium for egg production. Micronised ingredients are added to convert the sugars and make these  ingredients digestible. The winter blend is high in carbohydrates to keep birds warm. Summer blend accommodate birds that stay for the summer.

Each season these mixes are changed to accommodate the birds and their environment. The only thing you need to know is whether you live in a wooded area or an open meadow. We will take care of the rest.

Squirrel Free Blend:

 

Squirrel Free is an all natural mix of bird seed that is attractive to birds and squirrels do not like it. We have had reports that grackles are also not attracted to this blend.  There are no harsh pepper or chemicals added to ensure your safety and the safety of our animal friends. We believe that squirrels can be controlled without using harmful tactics It is both simple and effective. This is an all natural blend of the ingredients that are not attractive to squirrels.

There are ingredients in this blend that attract cardinals, goldfinches, purple finches, sparrows, mourning doves, indigo buntings, pine siskins, and many more birds. Remember, the type of feeder you use will also determine which birds will eat this blend. Cardinals, sparrows, doves etc., prefer to feed on a platform low to the ground. We always ensure the finest and most attractive ingredients in our blends. All our seeds have the highest food to shell ratio available.

Town & Country Blend

 

Town and Country is a highly attractive blend of seeds. Because of the nature of the seed, it is not attractive to Starlings. It is also one of the cleanest blends on the market. You will notice a large quantity of both black oil and grey striped sunflowers. These are the two most attractive ingredients to eastern birds. This blend is suitable for most styles of bird feeders. Because it is low in dust and is a “dry” blend, it flows well through hopper style and tubular feeders. It is also attractive to birds who feed on platform or fly through feeders Ground feeding birds are also attracted to this formula. . We always ensure the finest and most attractive ingredients in our blends. All our seeds have the highest food to shell ratio available.

Wild Finch Blend

Wild finch blend is designed specifically for finches. You will notice that we have deliberately avoided including proso millets. These are generally more attractive to ground feeders like mourning doves and house sparrows. Our blend has ingredients that attract finches. Additionally, the size of our ingredients allows free flow through the small portholes in all finch feeders.  

Cardinal Blend

Attract Canada’s favourite bird to your backyard with our cardinal blend. This is a simple mix of black oil sunflower and safflower. Cardinals prefer to eat on a platform feeder and ideally near the ground. Place the feeder near cedar hedges or a close escape route witch will help them feel safe. Cardinals tend to feed in routine patterns so do not let the feeder go empty once they have started to feed at your feeder.
