Wagner's 62012 Southern Regional Blend is a 20-pound mix of sunflower, safflower and select grains formulated to attract a broad variety of backyard songbirds common to the Southern U.S.

Designed specifically with seeds that Southern songbirds prefer, this mix combines black oil sunflower, striped sunflower, safflower seed and other quality grains to encourage visits from cardinals, chickadees, finches, blue jays and many ground-feeding species. Packaged in a convenient 20-pound bag and made in the USA, the blend works across tube, hopper and platform feeders to give backyard birdwatchers a reliable, all-purpose seed supply.

What kinds of birds will come to my yard with this Southern blend?

This blend emphasizes seeds that are favorites for common Southern songbirds, so you can expect both perching and ground-feeding visitors. Black oil and striped sunflower seeds attract small seed-eating birds, while safflower appeals to species that prefer larger, harder seeds.

• Cardinals: attracted by larger sunflower and safflower pieces
• Chickadees and nuthatches: favor black oil sunflower for ease of cracking
• Finches: drawn to striped sunflower and smaller grains
• Blue jays and ground feeders: will feed both on platforms and hopper bottoms

How should I offer Wagner's Southern Regional Blend in my feeders?

The mix is versatile and can be used in most common feeder types without modification. Use tube feeders for smaller birds, hopper feeders for a mix of species, and platform feeders to invite ground-feeding birds and jays.

• Tube feeders: ideal for finches and chickadees feeding on smaller seeds
• Hopper feeders: supports a variety of species simultaneously
• Platform/ground feeding: encourages cardinals and jays that prefer open feeding spots
• Keep feeders clean and dry to preserve seed quality

What makes this 20-pound Wagner's blend a good value?

Buying in a 20-pound bag gives you extended feeding time between purchases and reduces refill frequency. The blend uses high-quality grains, so you’re providing birds with seeds they prefer, which increases feeder activity and overall enjoyment for backyard observers.

• Large bag size reduces per-refill cost and trips to the store
• High-quality seeds mean less waste and higher attraction rates
• Multi-feeder compatibility lowers the need for specialized mixes
• Product made in the USA supports consistent sourcing and quality control

How should I store and handle the seed to keep it fresh?

Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place away from pests and direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer seed to an airtight container or reseal the bag and keep it elevated to prevent moisture and rodents from getting in.

• Use airtight plastic or metal bins for long-term storage
• Keep seed off damp concrete or soil to avoid mold
• Rotate stock: use older seed first to maintain freshness
• Regularly clean feeders to prevent clumping and spoilage

It suits homeowners with multiple feeder types, casual birdwatchers seeking consistent activity at their feeders, and anyone who prefers a large, ready-to-use bag of quality seed made in the USA.
