Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast Bird Seed
Mr. Bird Flaming Hot Feast is loose wild bird seed (sunflower hearts, peanuts, golden safflower and mealworms) infused with capsaicin, the natural oil of hot peppers, so birds eat it and squirrels stay away. Birds don't feel capsaicin's heat; squirrels and other mammals do.
Key Features
- Hot pepper infused: capsaicin discourages squirrels and raccoons without harming them.
- Birds don't mind: birds lack the receptors that make hot pepper burn.
- Shell-free: sunflower hearts, peanuts and mealworms leave little mess.
- Protein boost: mealworms add insect protein.
- For any feeder: loose seed for tube, hopper, tray or ground feeding.
- Handmade in America: by Mr. Bird.

FAQ
Is hot pepper safe for birds?
Yes. Birds don't have the receptors that sense capsaicin's heat, so it doesn't bother them.
Will it hurt squirrels?
No. Squirrels dislike the heat and learn to leave it alone.
Can I use it in any feeder?
Yes. It's loose seed, so it works in tube, hopper and tray feeders.
Why wash my hands?
Capsaicin is a strong irritant to eyes, nose and skin.
Tip: Pair it with a Squirrel Buster feeder for a second line of defense.
