| | | Aniseed bird food
Hi everyone
I have been given half a sack of wild bird seed but when going to top up some spare feeder's with the seed I noticed there was aniseed in the mix is this ok for the birds as I would not want to put anything out that would do them no good never had it before so un-sure
Thank's in advance

Do you mean star anis, aniseed or fennel if fennel the birds will eat this I think..
I dont think birds will eat anything they are not meant to they know what they can eat and cant..
Your avatar is a bit sinister lol..   |

Lots of the bird seed I have bought smells of aniseed - I think it is supposed to make it more attractive to them.

Pigeon food often has aniseed added, as they just love it. It is supposed to bring the homing pigeons back home. I get my wild bird food from a farm that produces seed mixes for pigeons and if it has been stacked near to the aniseed mixes it picks up that wonderful aroma. |
