Adventure in Your Backyard

Feeding and watching wild birds offers an outdoor adventure and colorful sights without leaving home. Whether you’re new to the hobby or experienced, trust Kaytee Products to have the finest ingredients and a genuine love of birds that shows.

Feed Birds Year-Round

Kaytee Wild Bird Foods offer a year-round source of energy and nutrition for wild birds. Consistently filled feeders helps keep birds fed—especially during times when food is scarce—and your backyard exciting through all seasons.

Provide a Fresh Source of Water

In addition to providing food year-round, always provide a fresh source of water. Wild birds use water for drinking and to clean their feathers, so they may visit more often and stay longer. Running water works best, so birds can hear it.

For the Love of Birds

Every time you fill your feeder, you’re not just offering food—you’re creating a connection to the beauty of nature. As birds feed and are filled with energy, you can experience the joy of knowing you’re helping them thrive.

About Kaytee

Formulated by birding enthusiasts, Kaytee Wild Bird Food makes high quality feed for your birds. It provides a great source of energy and nutrition for your feathered friends while offering you a colorful adventure in your own backyard.

I have been filling our feeders with Royal Wing Fruit & Nut, also Royal Wing No Waste and we have fed hundreds of birds so far this winter. I bought the Kaytee basic blend because it was on sale and there are zero birds eating it. All the regulars came this morning but none stayed to eat. This food is junk!

Everything is great! I love getting my pets needs from Chewy. I just have to handle my food one time rather than get it off the shelf at the store, put it out to be checked out, roll the buggy out and pick up the food and put it in my car, bring it into my house and put everything up. When you order from Chewy all you do is get it off your porch and put it up. It’s great!

Kaytee is a high end bird seed so I was very disappointed in the apparent "basic blend". I bought it because the price was less than the stuff at Menards and I thought wow...Kaytee brand no less. Well it was high on fillers and gunked up the feeders...WI weather is brutal so I had to bring the feeders in to chop it away from the plastic base so the birds could eat. Never ordering that again.

So far this season I've purchased 8 bags of this seed. It isn't really anything special, but does feed the birds, and the deal on 2 bags with free shipping when purchasing enough products is great. I can't buy it locally this cheap.

The amount is good. I have a flock of mourning doves that dig this. The little birds kind of like it too. Sometimes Chewy sends me a bag that’s older, I think and the birds are less enthusiastic. But sometimes I get a fresher one and everyone is stated.

Too much corn!!!!

Probably the worst birdseed I have ever gotten. Powdery. Tons of corn. The birds aren’t even eating it. I had to mix it with straight up black oil, sunflower seed

Probably the worst birdseed I have ever gotten. Powdery. Tons of corn. The birds aren’t even eating it. I had to mix it with straight up black oil, sunflower seed to get them interested.

Not that great; birds not eating it

This is mostly cracked corn. The birds are not eating at the feeder. In fact, the squirrels aren't eating at the feeder either. I swapped it out for sunflower seeds

This is mostly cracked corn. The birds are not eating at the feeder. In fact, the squirrels aren't eating at the feeder either. I swapped it out for sunflower seeds and now they're eating. I guess I will throw this out in the woods for the deer. I've definitely purchased better.

VERY disappointed in the quality of this product. Bags were FILLED with dust which covered my clothes even when carefully scooping seed out of bag. The dust coated every piece of seed. Also, at least half of each bag is corn pieces with very little sunflower seed (contrary to the bag description saying it now has double the sunflower seed from before). The photos in the description showed minimal corn pieces. The reviews from others for this product were generally positive so I don’t know if this was a fluke. But I won’t take that chance.

My cats love to watch the birds!

I got this bird food for my cats' birds lol They're inside cats who love to look outside and watch the birds eat from the bird feeder. I usually buy the store-brand seed, so I was delighted to find this name-brand seed for a better price! I also like that it comes in a two-pack of 20lb bags because I have to fill the feeder every day and this will last me a little while. There are more sunflower seeds in this mix, which is great for the squirrels who come looking for leftovers. I will definitely repurchase!
