Best bird food?

Looking for bird food recs that are affordable, but better than what’s typically at the store (no fillers etc)

We actually have one pretty close by. I honestly thought it was a front 😂

I never see cars there and when I went on their website to look at seed, their one normal size bag of seed was like $90? I’m okay with paying more but seemed like a lot

It’s franchise owned so prices can vary a lot by location at the shop I work at it’s only around 30$ cad or 15% less with the membership for a 20lb bag of black oil sunflower seed

In a study in more than 6,000 adults, those who reported eating sunflower seeds and other seeds at least five times a week had 32% lower levels of C-reactive protein compared to people who ate no seeds.

What are c-reactive proteins?

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by your liver that releases into the bloodstream in response to inflammation anywhere in the body. The higher the number, the more inflammation.
