Birds with prominent, seed-cracking bills, commonly called grosbeaks, easily crack in-shell seeds like sunflower, safflower and buckwheat. These seeds preclude smaller birds with finer bills yet attract larger, colorful jays and cardinals. In instances where these birds are frequent feeders, Lyric Cardinal Food is an ideal choice. Blue Jays often scoop small seeds aside probing for larger sunflower. Cardinal Mix provides their fundamental choice every time - which saves you, wasted seed.

Feeding Tips
Cardinals and grosbeaks prefer feeding on platforms. Ground feeding can be risky for the bird, so place the feeder in an open area where he can easily detect danger. Provide cover with shrubs and trees for the birds to fly to safely.

What a lively group! These little, gregarious, tree-dwelling birds bring such pleasure as they acrobatically flit from limb to feeder to post. We fondly refer to them as the "social climbers" because of their congeniality and perpetual motion. Did you know that you can train a chickadee to eat right from your hand? Chickadees, nuthatches and titmice tend to forage together in mixed flocks. They dwell in trees, and they relish sunflower seeds and tree nuts. We recommend Lyric's Chickadee Mix -specifically formulated for their feeding habits.

Feeding Tips
Chickadees are sure-footed and need no perches. The Lyric Chickadee feeder allows the bird to cling to the rough cedar wood while maneuvering seed from the holes. Hang your Chickadee feeder in or near a tree, and always use a squirrel guard, because sunflower seeds and nuts are squirrels' favorites, too.

Many people are reluctant to feed during the warm months because the seed germinates and causes a gardening nightmare. Shells make decks, patios and lawns unsightly. Resolve the problem by changing your mixture. Delite is waste-free, mess-free and weed-free. It's also a great value, because you don't pay for the shells. Four pounds of Delite is equivalent to nearly eight pounds of the same mix with the shells.

Feeding Tips
Some people stop feeding birds in the spring and summer because it can get messy. Also, the spring rains tend to spoil the food. Lyric's Supreme Hopper Feeder is designed to protect shell-free foods like Lyric Delite. Because the food has no shells, it won't germinate and cause a mess. It mounts on a 4" x 4" post or deck rail so that you can see the birds in their bright plumage up close and brilliantly.

In spring, flocks of goldfinches shed their dull feathers for a bright gold plummage, and the backyard springs alive with sight, sound and fragrance. Attract these brilliant little birds with seeds suited to the preferences and their bill size. Finches' tiny bills are masterful at handling small seeds, and pound for pound, Lyric Finch Mix is easier on the budget than straight niger.

Dispense Finch Mix through a niger tube feeder. The seed openings are small and prevent seed from spilling. The tiny holes and short perches make these tubes exclusive to finches. Hang a Lyric Finch Feeder from a tree branch. Even on windy days, finches will delightfully feed on a swaying feeder. Pole mounted tubes, window tubes and selective tubes are all available and will work in many settings.

The excitement begins with a variety of colorful birds dashing about as they savor the food you've provided. Success in attracting multiple species depends greatly upon the mixture.

Feeding Tips
Feeders should accommodate a smooth food-flow. Look for this feature when purchasing a new feeder. Some products have small spaces making it difficult for larger chunks to move freely.

Woodpeckers, with their bright markings, feeding antics and recognizable calls are some of the most popular birds, and you can enjoy them, too! All you have to know is what they prefer to eat - offer it in a selective feeder - and you've got woodpeckers! Lyric Woodpecker Mix is designed to do just that.

Feeding Tips
Selectively limit your feeding site for optimal pleasure by offering the food in a Lyric Woodpecker Feeder. This cedar feeder is uniquely designed so that only the woodpeckers' and nuthatches' long bills and tongues can get the bits of food. We suggest smearing some suet or peanut butter on the cedar and in the holes to attract the bird and help it identify the food source.
Hanging the feeder from a tree branch or close to a tree trunk is optimal. Conversely, if you'd like to offer the mix to all birds, a hopper feeder works nicely. We also recommend wire mesh tubes, but because most of the ingredients are shelled, protect them from direct exposure to the elements. Squirrel baffles are always recommended.

A favorite food among all seed-eating birds. Use alone or add to your favorite mix. Attracts cardinals, grosbeaks, woodpeckers and jays.
