Mr. Bird
Mr. Bird wild bird seed was built around one problem: loose seed gets wasted, suet melts in summer heat, and squirrels eat everything. Their solution — pressed seed cylinders, cakes, and bells made with real pecans, sunflower hearts, and premium ingredients — changed backyard bird feeding when they invented the format in 1996. No mess under the feeder. No melting in a Tennessee July. No fillers. Just seed that birds actually eat, in a form that lasts.
Shop their full line here — from the bestselling Flaming Hot Feast (hot pepper keeps squirrels away, birds can't taste capsaicin) to the WildBird Feast Cylinder loaded with pecans and sunflower hearts. Available in cakes, cylinders, bells, and loose seed bags, with Mr. Bird's own feeders and hangers to match.
Mr. Bird Wild Bird Seed — Cylinders, Cakes & Bells
Mr. Bird has been making pressed wild bird seed products since 1996, when they designed and sold the first birdseed cylinder. Their entire line is built on three claims that hold up: no waste, no mess, and never melt. That last one matters in East Tennessee, where summer heat turns traditional suet into a rancid puddle before the birds find it.
Their product formats — cylinders, cakes, bells, and loose seed bags — all use the same premium ingredient philosophy: real pecans, black-oil sunflower, sunflower hearts, mealworms, and fruit depending on the formula. No filler seeds that birds scratch past and drop on the ground.
The Flaming Hot Feast line adds hot pepper to the mix. Birds lack the receptors to feel capsaicin heat, so they eat normally. Squirrels, raccoons, and deer do feel it — and leave. It's the most reliable non-mechanical squirrel deterrent in wild bird feeding.
For woodpeckers, the Woodpecker Feast Cylinder is formulated specifically for clinging feeders. For cardinals and songbirds, the WildBird Feast and Bugs, Nuts & Fruit lines draw the widest variety. Safflower Feast cylinders are the go-to for squirrel-prone yards where you can't use hot pepper.
Agri Feed Pet Supply carries the full Mr. Bird line at both our Knoxville locations — Middlebrook Pike and Kingston Pike — and ships nationwide. If you're not sure which format works with your existing feeder setup, our staff can help you match the right product before you buy.
