download Male Northern Cardinal Landing at the Clear Bird Feeder by Tranquil Outdoors (WashingtonDC.CityRegions.Com, September 23, 2015 ) Chesapeake, VA -- Tranquil Outdoors, a Chesapeake, Virginia-based brand, says that its clear acrylic window mounted bird feeder is designed to attract a variety of species of birds. Company officials say that the window feeder, which can easily be affixed to outside windows and glass doors, can be used to support the nutritional needs of a wide array of birds.
According to bird researchers, hulled sunflower seeds are often suggested for backyard feeders because the seeds have had the shell removed. However, the "no mess" seeds, according to ornithologists, do not eliminate the chaff that is left beneath a bird feeder after it is used. Therefore, bird experts emphasize that cleaning the feeder and any debris that is left on the ground should be done regularly.
The hulled variety, avian experts claim, is a better choice than sunflower seeds in the shell. Birds, say researchers, find the hulled seeds easier to consume. Avian educators add that the seeds should be kept dry because they can spoil at a faster rate than when they remain in the shell.
Bird nutritionists also suggest the use of cracked corn in a feeder for attracting quails, sparrows and doves. The nutritionists say that mixing the corn with millet is helpful in attracting a large variety of bird species. Dried seeds of fruits, such as apples and pumpkins, also provide bird-friendly meals, according to scientists.
Ornithologists recommend that feeding nyjer seed or thistle seed often attracts finches, including the pine siskin, common redpoll and American goldfinch. However, this type of seed, state the scientists, is often better when placed in a feeder with very small feeding ports.
Bird researchers say that birds swallow hard materials, such as grounded eggshells and oyster shells as well as small pebbles and sand to assist in grinding and digestion. The avian specialists say that oyster and eggshells are a good source of calcium. The eggshells, when combined with seeds, should be sterilized before they are used. Scientists suggest boiling the shells for 10 minutes or heating them in an oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for around 20 minutes.
Olivia Slayton, the Brand Spokesperson of Tranquil Outdoors, commented on bird nutrition options and choices for feeding. She said, "Tranquil Outdoors, endorse the use or premium backyard birdseed for use in our window feeders. Any variety of seed and blends can be used in our feeders depending on the species of birds you are trying to attract to your window."
