I've always adored birds, I enjoy photographing them, hearing them sing and learning about them. I am fascinated watching them and seeing their unique personalities, however I've never really wanted to own a bird so instead of owning one I pamper the wild birds that visit my yard. I am a Chewy Influencer and I work with them on a monthly basis to review and promote different products from their site, when I saw the Kaytee basic blend wild bird food on the list of possible review items for the month it made me pretty excited.
Chewy sells this 20lb bag of bird seed for $11.99 which is a pretty fantastic deal! This mix of bird seed helps attract several different types of birds, depending on where you live and the type of birds in your area you may see several of the birds listed on the bag or you could just see the birds native to you. I generally get a variety of finch, sparrow, doves, curve-billed thrashers, starlings, woodpeckers, and northern mocking birds that stop by for a bite to eat and a dip in the bird bath.
This mixture has a combination of grains, corn, stripped sunflower seeds and black oil with added supplements such as Vitamin A to help the birds during harsh winter months or even dry hot summer months. I have four different bird feeders in my yard all with various sized feeding holes and this mixture does well in each feeder, and as you can see all the wild birds are enjoying the easy meal. As always my shipping from chewy.com was extremely fast and it helped save me from having to lug this bag of bird seed from the store to my house! The bag was a little bit of a pain to open, I had to use scissors to cut it open otherwise I have no complaints about this product.
Do you feed any wild animals in your yard? If yes, what kind of animals visit your yard?, If the answer is no what is your favorite animal to see out in the wild?

I would love to see some cat walking around in back yard, they are so cute
ReplyDeleteWe live in town so we don't have any wild animals - unless you count our 2 dogs that are hyper and wild haha and we do get their food from chewy!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Chewy, and we have bird feeders too, so I should check them out!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this out. We get a lot of wild birds around where I work. I love to watch them, especially in the Summer when they are nesting everywhere. thank you!
ReplyDeleteI must say, you made my day with an article on wild birds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Oh wow, this is interesting I'm going to share with my grandparents! They'd love this!
ReplyDeleteI have come across so many wild animals but I don't like cats, they scared me
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Lovely little birdies. My mom loves feeding birds too, I'll recommend this one to her. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove bird watching. Before it finally got too cold for them, we had a bright Blue jay and a pretty red robin who would fly back and near our back balcony. My cat Joan Jett LOVED watching them. I'm thinking about getting a feeder to hang so that she can watch them when they come back for the spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm big fan of little birds! I like watching them in my garden! Especially at spring!
ReplyDeleteWe used to feed the birds alot more than we do now mainly because of all the squirrels and raccoons who were stealing the food or knocking it down. I need to come up with a better system for this! We do have a nice bird bath so that brings some really nice cardinals and orioles around the yard. I do love CHEWY.com though!
ReplyDeleteI'm the total opposite! I hate birds, especially the seagulls at the beach. They can be so mean.
ReplyDeleteI occasionally go to a nearby park and feed birds and the geese. I'm not going to life I normally take bread and cheap seeds lol
ReplyDeleteNice! I think my pet ducks would love those as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome deal! My pet duck needs to try this out.
ReplyDeleteMy gardens attract all types of critters to our back yard. Which isn't always great because some mornings I wake up to find missing produce in the garden! Yesterday morning I woke up and went to let the dog outside and there was a huge deer walking about two feet away from my front door! It was crazy! But I didn't want to try to feed him because, although I like seeing the deer from afar I'm not a fan of them hanging out in my front yard lol
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty cool, that the birds have a safe place to come and feed. Chewy.com is pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI won't feed pigeons, but I'd definitely feed any other bird.
ReplyDeleteI don’t feed outside animals. I used to have a newspaper customer who left pie tins of cat food outside on her porch. I encountered squirrels, cats, raccoons, bunnies, nutria, ferrets, and god knows what else in the middle of the night. Ever since I just steer very clear of feeding animals that aren’t my cat. My neighbor feeds squirrels and they’re kind of cute running around the yard.
ReplyDeleteNice product for bird lovers.We have many options that we have in our country but this one is yet to reach.
ReplyDeleteI live in the city and the only birds I see near me are pigeons, so I try to stay away. lol.
ReplyDeletecool ! great idea to help the birds during harsh winter months or even dry hot summer months
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful product for the birds. I hope it is all natural?
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful and experience. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSadly I live in an apartment complex and can't have bird feeders, at my vacation home we have a garden but since we aren't there for the majority of the year we can't have a feeder, although one time I found a fawn in the bushes it was like, how did you get here xD
ReplyDeleteSome months ago I was feeding birds at the terrace. Thanks for sharing information about this product. Now I will try this one too
ReplyDeleteI love bird watching in our backyard. I will try Chewy for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe have a bird feeder outside the house just because my husband loves watching the birds!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a seed bird feeder, but stopped after a bear got in it. We still put out hummingbird feeders in the summer, but that's it.
ReplyDeleteI don’t feed the animals, just a bird feeder. We live behind a park so we see plenty of woodland friends
ReplyDeleteI don’t have a bird feeder but I would love to get a hummingbird feeder this year! We have a lot of blue jays, crows and magpies here. And squirrels of course!
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents bought me a bird feeder for christmas. As lame as that sounds i love it!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this out for my bird feeder soon! Thanks for the review
ReplyDeleteThe price seems pretty good compared to what is at the store.
