Feeding & Storage Tips
- Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and pest-free. Nuts and raisins can attract pests if left open.
- In hot, humid weather, put out only what your birds finish in a day or two.
- Keep it dry in the feeder; damp nuts and raisins spoil.
- Hang the feeder near a tree trunk; woodpeckers like a quick route to cover.
FAQ
Will squirrels eat Woodpecker Mix?
Yes, squirrels love nuts. Use a squirrel-resistant feeder such as a Squirrel Buster or add a baffle.
Which feeder works best?
A nut/peanut feeder or a platform feeder gives woodpeckers room to cling and pick out the nuts. Hoppers work too.
Will it attract other birds?
Yes. Nuthatches, chickadees, titmice and blue jays visit regularly for the nuts and sunflower hearts.
How long does it stay fresh?
Kept sealed, cool and dry, it stays fresh for weeks. In summer heat, offer smaller amounts more often.
Tip: Want straight peanuts for woodpeckers? Try Peanut Pickouts or In-Shell Peanuts.
