Why Safflower Seed is Perfect for Cardinals

Cardinals are among the most beautiful and sought-after backyard birds. Here's why safflower seed is their favorite:

High Nutritional Value

Safflower seeds are packed with:

  • 19% protein for healthy feather development
  • 38% oil content for energy
  • Essential amino acids for overall health
  • Natural Squirrel Deterrent

    The slightly bitter taste that cardinals love is naturally off-putting to squirrels, meaning more seed for your birds.
