Birds & Wildlife
We put a lot more than quality food into our wild bird food...
It's also loaded with research, consumer insights and innovation!
Maybe you've looked at generic ordinary bird food in the store and thought, "bird food is bird food, right? What's the difference?" In fact, there's more to creating quality wild bird food than just putting seeds in a bag.
Throughly researched
Scotts has ornithologists (or "bird scientists") and field biologists on staff who work to develop the most effective foods for wild birds through rigorous study of bird physiology and behavior. These foods are tested in partnership with leading universities at feeding sites across the country. Over 46,000 feeder visits have been catalogued, analyzed, and evaluated by external statisticians.
Research makes better blends
All food. No fillers. Unlike ordinary wild bird food which is full of filler seeds, Scotts® wild bird food contains only the best of what birds love to eat. With Scotts®, wild birds easily find the food they want, without the need to pick through and scatter what they don't to the ground.
Birds forage for foods that contain the ingredients they desire. By adding specific ingredients, we can make our wild bird foods more attractive to songbirds - and more enjoyable for you. You'll find that kind of thinking and innovation in every one of our blends.

Innovative Packaging
While we make food that wild birds love, we also make packaging you'll love. The Easy Pour Spout on Bird Smart Blends makes refilling your feeders much easier. You can fill even narrow tube feeders straight from the bag without spilling the seed! Plus, the cap top helps keep the food fresh, as do the resealable bags that hold some of our other Songbird Selections® blends.
