Bird food

[lucy78green]

I went to my local pet shop to stock up on seed for the feeders yesterday. I usually buy the mixed seed as I assume it appeals to more different types of birds. The birds are getting through it at a phenomenal rate recently. They didn't have any wild bird food left so I bought some cockatiel mix and added some dried mealy worms and stirred it in with the remnants of the last bag of bird food I bought. It didn't look as varied and there are a few large seeds that probably only the starlings and pigeons would attempt, but it still worked out at about £1 for 1kg of seed. Last time my sister bought wild bird food from the petshop it looked practically the same as the hamster food we also bought. Not sure if it's going to be as popular as the "real" stuff, any clue as to what's actually in wild bird food mixes and anyone make their own??
