Product Description
Scarlett Backyard Patio & Deck Blend is specifically designed for bird lovers who want to enjoy feeding wild birds without the mess typically associated with traditional birdseed. This no-waste, no-shell formula is perfect for smaller and friendlier birds that frequent patios, decks, balconies, and outdoor living spaces. Because all ingredients are hulled and ready to eat, birds consume everything without leaving behind empty shells, hulls, or debris on your outdoor surfaces. Manufactured by Albright's Mill, this premium blend combines high-quality nutrition with the convenience modern bird enthusiasts demand.
The carefully selected ingredients include sunflower chips, split peanuts, and hulled millet - all premium, high-energy foods that attract a delightful variety of smaller songbirds. Enhanced with natural and artificial flavoring to increase palatability, this blend encourages consistent visitation from cardinals, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, finches, and other charming backyard species. The result is a clean, convenient feeding experience that lets you enjoy bird watching from your outdoor living spaces without worrying about seed shells accumulating underfoot or in planters.

Feeding Instructions
Fill platform feeders, tray feeders, or scatter directly on clean deck or patio surfaces. For optimal results, use elevated platform feeders or hanging tray feeders placed near outdoor seating areas for close observation. Start with small amounts (1-2 cups) to gauge consumption and adjust accordingly - this premium blend is typically consumed quickly. Refill daily or as needed to maintain fresh supply. Because this is a no-waste formula, you can place feeders directly above decking, patios, or landscaping without concern about shells or debris. Clean feeding surfaces weekly with a brush or broom to remove dust and maintain hygiene. In wet conditions, smaller portions help prevent spoilage. Store unused feed properly to maintain freshness.

Why We Love It
Scarlett by Albright's Mill brings together generations of feed manufacturing expertise with modern convenience. When Albright's Mill acquired the respected Scarlett brand from Moyer & Son in 2025, they continued the tradition of producing premium, nutritionally balanced wild bird feed. Operating as a family-owned business in Kempton, Pennsylvania, Albright's Mill produces tons of quality Scarlett feed weekly, shipping to specialty pet stores, farm stores, and garden centers throughout the region. Their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and locally-sourced grains makes Scarlett the preferred choice for homeowners who want the best for their backyard birds without compromising their outdoor living spaces.
Storage & Care
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep bag tightly sealed or transfer to airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and maintain freshness. Because this blend contains high-fat ingredients (peanuts, sunflower chips), proper storage is essential to prevent rancidity. Use within 3-4 months of opening for optimal freshness and nutritional value. Store in garage, shed, or utility room - avoid outdoor storage. Discard any feed that appears moldy, rancid, clumped, or infested. Keep feeding surfaces clean and dry. In rainy or humid conditions, offer smaller portions more frequently to ensure birds consume feed before moisture exposure.
