Six premium seeds. One feeder. A yard full of songbirds.

Super Songbird Mix is built for the birder who wants variety — not just chickadees and sparrows, but cardinals flashing red against the snow, goldfinches jostling for position, grosbeaks cracking seeds with authority, and juncos scratching below. Six carefully chosen seeds work together to appeal to the broadest possible range of colorful songbirds, day after day, season after season. This is the blend customers come back to year after year because it simply works.

What's in the blend.

Six ingredients, each earning its place: black oil sunflower for the widest appeal, gray striped sunflower for larger birds that prefer a bigger seed, sunflower hearts for no-mess feeding, Nyjer® seed to pull in finches, safflower to attract cardinals while deterring squirrels, and peanut bits for woodpeckers, nuthatches, and jays. No filler, no milo, nothing wasted.

• Black oil sunflower — the universal favorite, attracts the most species
• Gray striped sunflower — preferred by cardinals, grosbeaks, and larger birds
• Sunflower hearts — hulled, no mess, eaten by every feeder bird
• Nyjer® seed — draws goldfinches, siskins, and redpolls
• Safflower — loved by cardinals, deters most squirrels
• Peanut bits — attracts woodpeckers, nuthatches, and blue jays
• No filler ingredients — every seed is bird-preferred
• 5 lb resealable bag — available exclusively at Duncraft

Birds attracted: Northern Cardinals, American Goldfinches, Black-capped Chickadees, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Blue Jays, Downy Woodpeckers, White-breasted Nuthatches, House Finches, Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, Dark-eyed Juncos, and many more.

How to feed: Works in any hopper, tube, platform, or tray feeder. A hopper or platform feeder gives the widest variety of birds — including larger species like cardinals and grosbeaks — comfortable access to all six seeds. For the best results, keep the feeder consistently stocked so birds learn to rely on it as a regular food source.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Super Songbird Mix different from other all-purpose blends?
Most all-purpose blends rely on 2–3 seeds and fill the rest with milo, wheat, or oats that birds discard. Super Songbird Mix uses six premium seeds — black oil sunflower, gray striped sunflower, sunflower hearts, Nyjer®, safflower, and peanut bits — each chosen to attract a specific group of desirable songbirds. There are no filler ingredients, so every seed in the bag gets eaten.

What songbirds does Super Songbird Mix attract?
The six-seed formula is designed to attract the widest possible variety of colorful songbirds, including Northern Cardinals, American Goldfinches, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Black-capped Chickadees, House and Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, Dark-eyed Juncos, Blue Jays, Downy Woodpeckers, and White-breasted Nuthatches.

Does Super Songbird Mix deter squirrels?
The safflower seed in the blend has a naturally bitter taste that most gray squirrels dislike, which provides some deterrence. However, Super Songbird Mix is not a squirrel-proof solution on its own. For maximum squirrel control, pair it with a weight-activated feeder like the Brome Squirrel Buster Plus or the Duncraft Squirrel Proof Selective.

Is Super Songbird Mix good for year-round feeding?
Yes. The blend is formulated to attract both resident and migratory songbirds across all seasons. The high-energy sunflower and peanut content supports birds through winter, while the variety of seeds appeals to spring and summer nesters as well as fall migrants passing through.

What feeder works best with Super Songbird Mix?
A hopper or platform feeder works best because it gives birds of all sizes — from small finches to larger cardinals and grosbeaks — comfortable access to the full blend. Tube feeders also work well for the smaller seeds. Avoid very narrow port feeders, as the peanut bits and striped sunflower may not flow freely through tight openings.
