The best
all-purpose seed is black oil
sunflower
and it works extremely well in
tubular bird feeders. It is very popular with the songbirds
that you want to attract to your
yard.

Use
niger seed (commonly known as
thistle
) to attract finches. Because the
seed is very small, you need a specialty feeder to offer this
seed.

Many
birds, such as woodpeckers and nuthatches, will cling to your
feeder. Some bird feeders have no
perches at all, but neither do tree
trunks.
Many of our feeders try to simulate their natural
environment.
