Safflower

Cardinal Crack! Great for cardinals, purple and house finches, doves, chickadees and nuthatches. Grackles and starlings and squirrels do not like safflower so its great to have it in a dedicated feeder to keep them away.

Birdhouse Tip: There is a myth that safflower repels the bully birds, this is false - they will still check it out initially, but will move on when they realize they don't like it. Safflower can be mixed with small amounts of nyjer to increase the variety of birds at a feeder, but if you are using this strategically to avoid bully birds do not mix it with black oil sunflower seed.
