Feeding & Storage Tips
- Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and pest-free. Raisins can attract pests if left open.
- A platform feeder gives fruit-eating birds like robins and bluebirds room to land.
- In wet weather, offer smaller amounts so the raisins don't get soggy.
- Expect some shells under the feeder from the in-shell sunflower and safflower.
FAQ
Why is it called Big Red Attraction?
It's built around cardinal favorites: sunflower, safflower and peanuts.
Will squirrels eat it?
Yes, sunflower and peanuts appeal to squirrels. Use a squirrel-resistant feeder such as a Squirrel Buster or add a baffle.
Is it shell-free?
No. It includes in-shell sunflower and safflower, so some hulls will drop.
How long does it stay fresh?
Kept sealed, cool and dry, it stays fresh for weeks. Keep the raisins dry.
Tip: Want even more fruit? Try Fruit & Nut Blend. For no shells at all, try Kracker Jax.
