Ground Feeding Birds

Many backyard birds prefer feeding directly on the ground or from low tray feeders.

These species often search beneath feeders for fallen seed and are attracted to millet, cracked corn, sunflower chips, and mixed seed blends.

Adding a small ground feeding area or platform feeder can help attract a wider range of birds to your yard.
