Great Reasons to Use No-Mess

No Mess, No Fuss

Looking for a good reason to pay more for that birdseed without shells? We have 7!

Better Value for You

Since the seeds and nuts in our No-Mess blends have no shells, you are not paying one penny for shell waste. Every tidbit is fresh, fully consumable food for the birds. It takes almost two bags of a regular blend with shells to get as much edible matter as in one bag of a No-Mess blend. 


Less Mess



No Germination 

Seed without a shell typically will not germinate under your bird feeders. 

No Grass-killing Seed Shells

Sunflower Seed shells contain compounds that, when left to accumulate beneath your bird feeders, can limit the growth of grass. When you use No-Mess, grass will grow better beneath your bird feeders!

Potential to Attract Birds that Typically Don't Eat Seed at Birdfeeders

Some birds don't have the type of beak that can easily open seeds with shells. The seeds and nuts in No Mess have no shells, making them easier to eat for birds like Bluebirds, thrushes, robins, creepers, thrashers, wrens, catbirds, mockingbirds, and more.

Less Energy Expenditure for the Birds

In the freezing days and nights of winter, survival is all about energy in and energy out. During short winter days, birds try to consume as much as they can to provide the energy to survive the frigid winter night. In spring and summer, breeding and raising young birds is a high energy expenditure activity for birds, as is the process of molting feathers. 

Birdfeeders provide birds with an easy source of food, minimizing energy used in the search for a food source. When you fill your feeders with food without shells, you help minimize energy expenditures for birds that consume the shell-less foods.

A Great Alternative to Nyjer Seed (Thistle) 

The goldfinches in my yard seem to prefer No-Mess over Nyjer. Feeding a No-Mess No-Millet blend in an Eliminator Squirrel Proof Birdfeeder or regular tube feeder on a baffled Advanced Pole System set-up can attract flocks of goldfinches.
