How To Attract Woodpeckers

 

Now is the best time of year to attract woodpecker families with fledglings out of the nest cavities and parents showing them where and how to find food.

Woodpecker Favorites

No-Mess Plus Blend Bird Seed is a favorite of woodpeckers. It is loaded with sunflower chips, shelled peanuts, chopped tree nuts, Bark Butter Bits®, cherries, cranberries and calcium creating a 100% edible blend to meet your birds’ needs with seeds, fats and fruits. It also contains added calcium, an important ingredient that helps promote strong bones and eggs. Offer it in a tube, hopper or tray-style feeder.

Woodpecker Cylinder

Seed cylinders are the easiest, longest-lasting way to feed your birds. Made of tree nuts, black oil sunflower, peanuts, and Bark Butter® Bits, our Woodpecker cylinder is perfect for attracting nut-eating birds, especially woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees. Our seed cylinders include a hole down the center of the food that slides onto our seed cylinder feeders.
