NON-SEED BIRDFOOD s eating suet from a bird feeder]] Not all birds eat seeds. Suet (beef or mutton fat) is recommended for Insect -eating birds like Nuthatches and Woodpecker s. Nectar (essentially sugar water) attracts Hummingbird s. COMMERCIAL BIRD FOOD A wide variety of commercial bird food is available to bird owners. However, bags of mixed birdseed often combine attractive bird food like sunflower seeds with "filler" materials that birds enjoy less. Birds tend to pick out their favorite seeds and simply leave the rest uneaten. Other birds that favor some of the seeds that were not eaten will then come and eat those seeds. Choosing Bird Food .
