I know what the ingredients are listed on the bag, what I want to know is; what is the secret stuff, you know the thing that makes them fight each other to get some. I have Mourning Doves that line up six deep to get their share, and the Woodpeckers have gone nuts! Joe Tays Buford, GAAdd your own story.

The People
Cole's Wild Bird Products Company is a true "mom and pop" success story. Back in the early 1980's, Richard and Nancy Cole started feeding experiments in their backyard because the "birdseed in a bucket" they bought at the grocery store wasn't attracting the beautiful songbirds they wanted to see.
They would mix and bag their own seed in the garage at night after work and deliver it to neighbors and local stores around town on the weekends. Eventually, demand became so great they decided to devote themselves full time to the birding and nature business.
A few years later, Elaine Cole joined the company, helping Richard and Nancy run what had by then become a true "family" enterprise. Now almost 25 years later, the Coles are known throughout the birding community as leading innovators and experts in feeding and attracting wild birds.
The Products
For other companies, wild bird feed is just a sideline business. It’s either an offshoot of their pet food line or a seasonal replacement for when their grass seed sales slow down. Their mixes are full of cheap filler seeds, crop leftovers, and the lowest quality oil sunflower they can find. With their seed you lose two ways: you pay for seeds that the birds don't even eat, and more important, you miss the increased number and variety of wild birds you could be attracting with a better wild bird feed.
At Cole's, wild bird feed is all we do. We developed the most complete line of wild bird feed based on factual research about what birds really eat. Plus, our feeds represent the highest quality in content and freshness you can get.
We keep our seeds as close to a natural state as we can. Unlike other brands, we do not wash our feed or coat it with chemicals and mineral oil to make it look better. Plus, each type of seed is carefully selected for its attraction to specific groups of birds – absolutely no cheap filler seeds are ever used! So, you get what you paid for, a better wild bird feed.
We believe birds are like people, give them what they like to eat and they'll come back and bring their friends. If you put out wild bird feed to attract and help wild birds, then it makes sense to use the feed that does this best.
