COOL BIRDS Nut & Fruit Wild Bird Seed 10 lb — Sunflower Hearts, Peanuts & Real Fruit Blend

Bring more activity and color to your yard with a high-energy seed mix formulated for feeders where birds feed openly. This premium formula leaves out corn, milo and millet and instead focuses on nutrient-dense ingredients—sunflower hearts, safflower, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, tree nuts and genuine fruit pieces like raisins and papaya—to entice cardinals, grosbeaks, woodpeckers, chickadees and other favorites. It works well in hopper, tray, platform and tube feeders, and performs across seasons when birds need reliable, calorie-rich food.

How will this blend change what visits my feeder?

The mix is intentionally nutty and fruity to appeal to both seed-eating and fruit-loving species. Larger seeds and peanuts attract powerful-billed birds such as cardinals and grosbeaks, while sunflower hearts and safflower draw chickadees and titmice. Real fruit pieces add aroma and flavor that can lure orioles and fruit-preferring visitors.

• Sunflower hearts for broad appeal and easy feeding
• Peanuts and tree nuts to attract bigger-billed species
• Raisins and papaya pieces to bring in fruit-eaters
• No filler grains like corn, milo, or millet that waste feed

Which feeders and setups are best for this 10 lb bag?

This blend performs best where birds can pick seeds and fruit openly—hopper, tray and platform feeders are ideal. Tube feeders with larger ports also handle the mix well; avoid very small-port tubes that clog with nut pieces. Use heavier-duty stations or cages if you expect squirrels or larger birds.

• Hopper and tray feeders for easy access and visibility
• Platform feeders to showcase fruit pieces and whole nuts
• Large-port tube feeders compatible with mixed-size seeds
• Works in smart feeders and automated dispensers designed for mixed feed

What nutrition and safety features should I know about?

The formulation emphasizes energy-dense ingredients that supply fats and protein without common cheap fillers. Removing corn, milo and millet reduces waste and deters some non-target ground-feeding species. As with any seed, keep feeders clean and rotate fresh bags to prevent moisture buildup around fruit pieces.

• High-energy nuts and seeds support migratory and resident birds
• No corn/milo/millet lowers leftover hull mess
• Contains real dried fruit—monitor for mold in humid climates
• Recommended for regular feeder cleaning and dry storage

How much will a 10 lb bag feed my yard and how long does it last?

Longevity depends on visitor numbers and feeder type: a single household with occasional visitors may see a bag last many weeks, while active feeders with flocks or multiple stations go through it faster. Use multiple feeders to reduce competition and spillage and extend the time between refills.

• Small yards with few birds: several weeks per bag
• Busy feeders or multiple stations: one to two weeks
• Spread into multiple feeders to limit waste and speed of consumption

Who is this for: COOL BIRDS Nut & Fruit is aimed at backyard birdwatchers who want a visible, high-quality feeding experience—people who prefer nutrient-rich, low-waste mixes to attract a wide range of colorful birds. It suits homeowners with hopper, tray, platform or compatible tube feeders, and anyone seeking to encourage cardinals, woodpeckers, grosbeaks, chickadees and fruit-loving species without using common filler grains.
