Safflower seeds are an excellent food choice for birds, packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, providing essential nutrients they need for optimal health. These seeds are particularly beneficial for songbirds and are favored by larger, thick-billed North American birds, such as cardinals. Alongside safflower seeds, sunflower seeds deliver an impressive daily dose of Vitamin E, B1, B6, selenium, folate, and copper—nutrients essential for maintaining your birds' overall health and vitality. Both seeds are high in energy, making them attractive to a diverse range of wild birds and contributing to their longevity. To promote a well-rounded diet for your feathered friends, safflower and sunflower seeds are mixed in a balanced ratio of 50% each, ensuring they receive the nutrition they require to thrive.
