Song of America Wild Bird Seed
Most wild bird seed underperforms because it's built around filler — milo, millet, and wheat that backyard birds kick out of the feeder and leave to rot on the ground. Song of America takes the opposite approach. Every blend in their lineup is formulated around what specific birds actually prefer, with named ingredients like black oil sunflower, sunflower hearts, chopped peanuts, tree nuts, and Nigerian thistle targeted to the species you want to attract.
Whether you're trying to draw Cardinals with Cardinal Candy, Goldfinches with the Finch-Feast blend, Woodpeckers with a nut-heavy Woodpecker Wowie mix, or the full backyard spread with Birds Gone Wild and Classic Buffet Blend — there's a formula here built for that job. No guesswork on what to buy. No seed wasted on birds you didn't invite.
Song of America Wild Bird Seed — Premium Blends for Knoxville Backyards
Song of America is a Burkmann Feeds brand formulated by a nutrition team — including four Ph.D. nutritionists and a staff veterinarian — at their Bowling Green, Kentucky facility. That backstory matters because it explains why their blends consistently outperform generic big-box seed: the ingredient ratios are built around bird behavior and feeding preferences, not lowest-cost bulk commodity fill.
Their lineup covers the full range of East Tennessee backyard birds. Cardinal Candy is heavy in black oil sunflower and safflower — the two seeds Cardinals pick first. Chickadee Munch combines sunflower chips, black oil sunflower, chopped peanuts, and tree nuts for the mixed-species feeder that gets steady traffic year-round. The no-mess hulled blends — Patio Mix and sunflower chip options — eliminate the sprouting and ground mess that frustrates feeders with landscaped yards or deck setups.
The Flamin' Fiesta Blend adds hot pepper to deter squirrels and mammals without affecting the birds, who can't detect capsaicin heat. It's the same mechanism as Mr. Bird's Flaming Hot Feast, in a bagged seed format — useful when you're filling a tube feeder or hopper rather than using a cylinder.
Agri Feed Pet Supply carries Song of America at both Knoxville locations and ships nationwide. If you're not sure which blend matches your feeder setup or the species you're seeing in your yard, our staff can help you choose before you buy.
