The Catbird martins apple chips its name from the call that sounds like a cat mewing and are often heard before they are seen. They are secretive birds that dart into the bushes when approached. Contact your local Wild Birds Unlimited Store for product availability.

Some products are species specific and not carried at all stores. Bits are bite-sized nuggets made of rendered beef suet, soy oil, roasted peanuts, corn, oats and calcium carbonate. Bark Butter Bits allow you to easily offer Bark Butter in tray, seed tube and hopper feeders. Just add them to your feeder to attract a variety of birds, including many that do not normally visit feeders. This fun, revolutionary system turns a small outdoor space into a bird feeding system with lots of activity.

Our No-Mess Blend is great near flower beds, patios and decks. Our unique No-Mess Blend bird seed features seeds that have had their shells removed so only the meat of the seed is left. No hulls on the seeds makes for tidier feeding, since there’s no debris on the ground to clean up. Pound for pound, our No-Mess Blend bird seed offers the best value because you do not pay for uneaten seed waste.

Our No-Mess Blend’s mix of sunflower chips, hulled white millet and shelled peanuts appeals to birds that eat at the feeder or on the ground. Mealworms are the larvae of the beetle Tenebrio molitor. Birds such as chickadees, bluebirds, wrens and woodpeckers will eat mealworms, if they are placed in a feeder accessible to the birds. Because mealworms can crawl, it is best to place them in a feeder where they cannot crawl out. For longer storage they should be placed in bran flakes, wheat bran or corn meal in a container having air holes. A potato or apple slice should be kept in the container for the worms to use as a moisture source.

The roof protects the birds and food from the elements. The perforated metal bottom keeps the seed dry and lifts out for easy cleaning. These feeders and houses prevent used milk jugs from making their way into our landfills. Just twist the 4-foot base pole into the ground using the convenient corkscrew auger.

Also, be sure to shop through our other bird feeding supplies to complement all your bird feeding needs. Feeders and bird food not included. Catbirds are predominantly migratory throughout their range. Will not use a nest box.
