Try these millet and corn free blends in your feeders to discourage House Sparrows: House Sparrows are very comfortable feeding on the ground and millet just encourages them to hang around.įeeding seed blends with pure edible ingredients such as black oil sunflower seeds, safflower and peanuts will help to discourage birds dumping seeds on the ground for House Sparrows to find.

In WBU Barrie blends we use millet in small amounts with the intention of it being thrown onto the ground for doves, native sparrows and other ground feeding birds. Millet also generally ends up on the ground. Millet is small and an easy seed for House Sparrows to crack with their beak and eat.

None of our WBU Barrie blends include cracked corn but we do sell it on its own for feeding jays, doves etc. Bottom line good quality blends can help keep House Sparrows away from your bird feeders. Seeds dropped on the ground in great quantities can attract House Sparrows. Corn and millet are eaten by some birds but when used in large quantities to fill up a bag of seed to drive the cost down most of it ends up being wasted because feeder birds such as finches and chickadees throw it on the ground in search of sunflower seeds. “Filler” ingredients such as wheat and oats are not eaten by any of backyard birds except House Sparrows, Rock Pigeons (or just plain old Pigeons as most people know them) and Mourning Doves. Feed Seed Blends Without Millet and Cracked Corn: Many bird seed blends from other stores include “filler” ingredients such as millet, cracked corn, milo, wheat and oats in large quantities.

Unfortunately there are no feeders that are House Sparrow proof but discouraging them from your feeders is not impossible if you know their weaknesses. The House Sparrows small size means that it can squeeze through the 1½” spaces on feeder cages and do not close the feeder ports. House Sparrows eat mostly grains and seeds, as well as corn, oats, wheat, sorghum, grass seed, ragweed, buckwheat, millet, milo and insects. They House Sparrows are very prolific parents and by late summer often dominate feeders of all types in great numbers and prevent the other small birds from accessing the feeders.

Their constant presence outside our doors makes them easy to overlook, and their tendency to displace native birds from nest boxes causes some people to resent them. Along with two other introduced species, the European Starling ( Sturnus vulgaris) and the Rock Pigeon ( Columba livia), these are some of our most common birds. You can find House Sparrows ( Passer domesticus) most places where there are houses (or other buildings), and few places where there aren’t.
