There are many different types of birdseed mixes. Inexpensive mixes typically contain large quantities of milo and millet, as well as smaller amounts of cracked corn and other seeds or grain. Wheat is a popular filler addition but has little nutritional value for birds. These mixes can be useful but birders may see large quantities of waste as birds seek out favorite seeds in the mix.Bird seed mixes provide the seed component of a balanced avian diet. In the wild birds eat a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants, nectar, grains, roots & tubers, nuts, grubs, animal matter such as insects and carrion, grit and even clay. A pure seed diet will be relatively high in fat and low in nutrients particularly Vitamin A and calcium. Seed is a vital part of a balanced avian diet but should not be the only part. Although "complete" diets such as pellets or fortified seed diets claim to provide a balanced diet they give bird keepers a false sense of security and do not replicate natural conditions or nutritional inputs. Also, while little is known about how the mind of a bird works, bird-fanciers will agree they are intelligent creatures and a monotonous pellet or seed diet will bore them. A varied diet provides mental stimulation for caged and aviary birds. We advocate a varied balanced diet thoughtfully provided by well-informed bird-keepers.
