1.8 Lbs. Pine Tree Farms Premium Safflower Seed Cake
$12.95
Unit price perEstimated delivery between May 17 and May 19.
The Pine Tree Farms Premium Safflower Seed Cake (01481) is a specialized feeding solution designed to solve the common problem of squirrel raids. Safflower seed is often referred to as "the miracle seed" because it has a slightly bitter taste that squirrels and grackles typically dislike, while being a favorite for desirable backyard birds.
This 1.8lb cake is held together with food-grade gelatin to create a solid, long-lasting block. It provides a dense source of fat and protein, making it ideal for year-round feeding. Because it is a seed cake, it is significantly less messy than loose seed, making it perfect for use over patios, decks, or manicured gardens.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Natural Squirrel Deterrent: Safflower is widely recognized for its ability to discourage squirrels and nuisance birds like blackbirds and starlings.
-
Cardinal Magnet: Northern Cardinals, Grosbeaks, and Finches are particularly fond of safflower seeds.
-
No-Waste / Low-Mess: The compressed cake format ensures that seeds stay in the feeder until eaten, preventing the "sorting and scattering" behavior common with loose mixes.
-
High-Energy Nutrition: Provides essential calories to support birds during high-stress periods like winter and the nesting season.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Be Patient: If you are switching from a sunflower-based mix to pure safflower, it may take the local birds a few days to adjust to the new menu. Once they find it, your cardinal population will likely increase.
-
Feeder Type: While this fits most standard large seed cake feeders, hanging it at least 5 feet off the ground will give birds the best vantage point for safety.
-
Mix and Match: If you want to keep feeding other seeds but reduce squirrel activity, try placing a safflower cake in one area and a "hot pepper" mix in another to create multiple squirrel-resistant zones.
