Bird Seed | Jay and Woodpecker Mix | Mother Nature's

⚠️ LOCAL PICKUP ONLY — This item cannot be shipped.

Mother Nature's Jay and Woodpecker Mix is a premium, protein-rich wild bird seed blend formulated specifically to attract Blue Jays, woodpeckers, and other large, bold backyard birds. Crafted by Chin Ridge Seeds, this 8 kg mix combines whole in-shell peanuts, shelled peanuts, striped sunflower seeds, coarse sunflower chips, and whole corn — delivering the high-energy nutrition these active, larger species demand year-round.

What's in the Blend

The Jay and Woodpecker Mix is built around peanuts and sunflower — the two ingredients most preferred by jays, woodpeckers, and nuthatches. Whole in-shell peanuts provide foraging enrichment and extended feeding activity. Shelled peanuts offer immediate, accessible nutrition. Striped sunflower seeds and coarse sunflower chips attract a broader range of species, while whole corn rounds out the blend with a high-carbohydrate energy source favoured by jays and ground feeders.

Best Suited For These Birds

This blend is specifically formulated to attract larger, peanut- and sunflower-preferring species, including:

• Blue Jays — strongly attracted to whole in-shell peanuts and whole corn
• Steller's Jays — favour peanuts and sunflower seeds
• Downy Woodpeckers — drawn to shelled peanuts and sunflower chips
• Hairy Woodpeckers — prefer shelled peanuts and striped sunflower
• Pileated Woodpeckers — attracted to peanuts and large seed offerings
• Red-bellied Woodpeckers — favour peanuts and sunflower seeds
• White-breasted Nuthatches — seek out shelled peanuts and sunflower chips
• Red-breasted Nuthatches — attracted to peanuts and sunflower
• Black-capped Chickadees — drawn to shelled peanuts and sunflower chips
• Northern Cardinals — attracted to striped sunflower seeds
• Common Grackles — favour whole corn and mixed grain
• Mourning Doves — ground feeders attracted to spilled corn and sunflower chips

Ideal For

• Birdwatchers targeting jays, woodpeckers, and nuthatches specifically
• Peanut feeders, hopper feeders, platform feeders, and suet-style tray feeders
• Properties with mature trees, wooded edges, or forest-adjacent habitat
• Year-round feeding programs in Canadian and northern climates, especially winter
• Homesteads, acreages, and rural properties with natural woodlot habitat
• Gifting to birdwatching enthusiasts who want to attract bold, active species

Feeder Compatibility

This blend performs best in peanut feeders, hopper feeders, and open platform or tray feeders that can accommodate whole in-shell peanuts and larger seed sizes. Whole corn and in-shell peanuts can also be scattered on the ground or placed on flat surfaces to attract ground-feeding jays and doves. Not suitable for tube feeders with small ports due to the inclusion of whole peanuts and whole corn.
