Lyric Fine Tunes Wild Bird Seed – No Waste Bird Food Mix – Attracts Bluebirds, Finches, Chickadees & More – 15 lb. Bag

My go-to seed, loved by a variety of wild birds.
This has become my go-to seed for my outdoor feeders, and I have tried many different brands and formulations over the years. I live in west central Florida along the nature coast and our resident and migratory birds of all varieties seem to love it. It’s base is small peanut fragments, but it also has significant bits of other nuts and seeds, consistent with the published ingredients list. Also has no millet, which birds in our area do not seem to like. In any blends I’ve bought with millet it in, the millet goes to waste.This nut and seed blend is good on its own, but I mix it half-and-half with sunflower seed and top it off with mealworms. Our feeders are always filled with birds – from small chickadees, finches and wrens (for whom the small pieces are ideal) to bluebirds, cardinals, several varieties of woodpeckers, mockingbirds, blue jays, doves and others. They go through a lot of it in the winter and spring through primary migration and breeding periods, less during the rest of the year. We have a pair of bluebirds in our bluebird house that have raised successful broods for a few years in our bluebird box and they visit our feeders for this food often when feeding their chicks.According to Amazon, I’ve purchased 26 bags of this seed since at least February 2021 (It’s now May 2025). Every bag purchased has been well-sealed, fresh and dry. When you open the bag it smells like fresh nuts. It holds up well – no mold, insects, etc. – even though it’s kept stored in a plastic bin outside on our back porch in the Florida heat. It’s a bit more expensive than other available seeds, but it’s no-waste and is completely consumed – no unwanted/unpreferred seed, no mess of shells on the ground under the feeders.

Birds love it!!!
We feed a lot of wild birds and squirrels. They love the variety and it’s definitely no waste.

Three Bird Feeding Tips I Learned, and as to the Food? It’s Worth the Price.
I have been feeding birds for ages. My parents fed birds. We are bird people! I will say it took me a while to adapt to a few things that have changed my whole bird feeding view, especially after having running battles with squirrels for a very long time. So, here goes:1. I bought a Slinky. Yes, all those videos about using Slinkys on your poles to keep the squirrels at bay do work. Since adding them to our two poles, the squirrels just looking longingly up but no matter how much they try, they have not figured out how to defeat it.2. I bit the bullet, after reading many reviews, to pay more for a no-waste bird food. This food is more expensive then other brands, but let me give it the praise it deserves: I go through MUCH LESS food now. Why? Because the birds are not pushing the garbage seeds out to get to what they want. In addition, for some of the birds, like the nuthatches, that only like certain seeds, the ones they still push out are eaten by the juncos and sparrows, as well as the squirrels who poke around underneath the feeder. I have two feeders, and it’s been a month and I still have half a bag left of this bird food. Also, I moved the feeders up to our deck, and there is NO SEED LEFT underneath. It is all eaten by other birds or squirrels. No clean up. The juncos will even go under the deck to check for any seed that feel through. I am a true believer now of spending a little more for a much better result, as the value you get per pound is fantastic.3. I bought capscasin suet squares. A little more per pack, but birds are not bothered and the squirrels learn quickly to avoid them. I now have woodpeckers and chickadees happily feeding away without competing with the squirrels. Another example of spend a $1 more and use less overall.So, as to the seed, RUN don’t WALK to order this stuff. It is well made, seems fresh, and it’s just a good value for your dollar in the long run.

Premium seed for backyard visitors.
Male Cardinals arrive like royalty, their crimson red feathers flickering like living flame. The females follow with soft tan feathers kissed by coral, graceful, understated and just as captivating.But the party doesn’t stop there. Blue Jays flash their sapphire wings, Mourning Doves come bearing their gentle coo, Chickadees flit in like tiny acrobats and the occasional Goldfinch drops by like a burst of sunshine.And then there’s Pasquale, my resident chipmunk with cheeks like suitcases. He’s not officially invited, but he’s earned his spot at the table with charm alone.
