Try Bye, Bye Starling

If you’ve had problems with the European Starlings mobbing then emptying your feeders, we have a solution for you. Our Bye, Bye Starling seed mix has black oil sunflower, striped sunflower, golden safflower and white safflower all in the shell. Starlings have beaks that were designed to open softer-shelled seeds. Starlings prefer peanuts and seeds out of the shell due to their bill shape, which is not well suited to cracking hard-shelled seeds. Most of our other backyard feeder birds, like cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers will love the ingredients and have beaks that are suitable for opening these seeds.

And, if you’re weary of starlings emptying your suet feeders, don’t miss our video about upside-down suet feeders:
