Bird Seed - Cardinal Rule
A blend built with intention — and just a little attitude.
Cardinal Rule was made for the birds who like to take their time at the feeder. Designed specifically for Northern Cardinals, grosbeaks, and other large songbirds, this blend focuses on hearty, high-value ingredients — including mealworms for a natural protein boost.
Where our Yard Party Mix brings a lively mix of birds to the feeder, Cardinal Rule takes a more targeted approach — built to give your red-feathered regulars exactly what they love.
What’s inside — and why cardinals love it:
Black Oil Sunflower – The base of every great blend. Easy to eat, energy-rich, and widely loved.
Striped Sunflower – A tougher shell that cardinals crack with ease. Slows down feeder bullies while inviting the birds you want.
Safflower – A cardinal favorite with a bonus: squirrels and blackbirds usually pass it up.
Peanut Pieces – Nutrient-dense and satisfying. Supports nesting, feather health, and winter energy.
Mealworms – The secret weapon. A soft, protein-packed treat that supports muscles, growth, and cold-weather resilience.

How is it different from Yard Party Mix?
Both blends are premium, filler-free, and carefully crafted — but they serve different purposes:
Yard Party Mix is an all-around crowd-pleaser. It attracts a broad variety of birds and adds just enough millet to welcome ground-feeders like doves and sparrows.
Cardinal Rule is a species-focused blend that skips millet entirely and adds mealworms for extra nutrition — ideal for those who want to spotlight cardinals and larger songbirds.
Together, they’re the perfect one-two punch for a thriving backyard flock.
