 NutraSaff is an amazing new birdfeed. Scientists in the
world's largest safflower breeding program at Montana State University have developed
NutraSaff especially for bird feeding markets. Preliminary findings show most songbirds
enjoy NutraSaff about the same as traditional safflower.
What is so great about NutraSaff?
Has no outer shell - only the exocarp (thin lining directly under shell)
15% higher seed oil content
25% higher protein
30% higher fat content (energy)
Birds love golden safflower - squirrels are only slightly interested in
it.
Squirrels are not fond of it - but they will eat some. Red-winged
blackbirds, common grackles, and starlings also have been seen eating NutraSaff.
They peck away at some NutraSaff, but will not monopolize the feeder as they do
with other seeds. However, if you desire to eliminate virtually all raids on your feeders,
we suggest "bright white safflower" may be more effective.
All NutraSaff products are non-GMO (non-genetically modified organism)
Organic and chemical free
Wild birds have an easier time digesting and extracting the meal from
NutraSaff seeds. In fact, J.J. Cardinal Naturalists, and customers who offer NutraSaff
have even spotted eastern bluebirds, which are not known to be seedeaters, consuming, make
that, devouring NutraSaff!)
NutraSaff provides higher energy sources with less waste than any other
birdseed product.
If you are using NutraSaff in your bird feeder for the fist time, be
patient: the birds may be attracted to it immediately or it may take up to a week, but
once they do you will enjoy attracting the birds you want while reducing (but not
eliminating) grackles, starlings, and squirrels.
If you are replacing a product in your bird feeders with NutraSaff, you
may experience squirrels and Grackles digging through it, looking for the birdseed they
had previously enjoyed. It will not take long before they abandon their attempts and leave
the safflower alone.
Juvenile grackles, red-winged blackbirds, and European starlings may
attracted to the NutraSaff prior to their migrating south for the winter.
