Why Safflower is the Cleanest Seed You Can Use

When it comes to bird feeding, cleanliness and quality matter. Safflower seeds stand out as one of the cleanest, most beneficial options for both birds and bird enthusiasts.

Natural Squirrel Deterrent

One of safflower's greatest advantages is its natural ability to deter squirrels. The slightly bitter taste that squirrels dislike is completely unnoticeable to birds, making it a perfect solution for squirrel-free feeding.

Nutritional Benefits

Safflower seeds are packed with healthy fats and proteins that birds need. They're particularly beneficial for:

• Cardinals - their strong beaks easily crack safflower shells
• Chickadees - they love the high fat content
• Doves - perfect size for their feeding habits
• Nuthatches - excellent source of energy

Cleanliness Advantages

Safflower seeds create less mess than many other seed types. The shells break cleanly, and birds typically consume them completely, leaving minimal waste under feeders.

Year-Round Feeding

Unlike some seeds that are seasonal, safflower works well year-round. Its high fat content makes it especially valuable during winter months when birds need extra energy.

Storage and Freshness

Our safflower seeds come in resealable bags to maintain freshness. Store in a cool, dry place, and they'll stay fresh for months while retaining their nutritional value.
