Do different birds have different favorites?
Like us, birds have their favorite kinds of food. Chickadees and finches, for example, like sunflower seeds. Steller’s jays and blue jays prefer peanuts. White proso millet is the preferred food of juncos, sparrows, and mourning doves. The favorite food of pine siskins and some kinds of finches is the nyjer seed. Northern flickers prefer suet cakes.
