Kaytee’s New Winter Blend Seed Supports Wild Bird Energy Needs
12.20.10For bird watchers the approaching holiday season may include the tradition of participating in the Christmas Bird Count. In the spirit of season and to demonstrate passion about the care of wild birds and the environment, KAYTEE® has introduced KAYTEE® Winter Blend premium wild birdseed. This premium birdseed incorporates specially developed energy pellets made with vegetable oil to help support birds’ increased energy needs in the winter. The energy pellets are blended with premium seeds, such as Black Oil Sunflower, to create an appealing mix to draw birds to feeders – especially during the cold winter months.
“With the Christmas Bird Count from December 14, 2010 to January 5, 2011, this is a great time to feed and enjoy watching the birds at your backyard feeder” “Birds use a great deal of energy during the winter to keep warm and search for food,” noted Mario Olmos, KAYTEE Ornithologist. “Nutritionally birds need to covert fat into energy. The specially formulated vegetable oil-based pellet in KAYTEE’s Winter Blend premium wild bird food is more easily digested than traditional suet.”
Research indicates more people feed birds during the winter than other times of the year. So when selecting KAYTEE’s Winter Blend premium wild bird food for their bird feeders this winter, birders will be providing a special, seasonal treat for the birds.
“With the Christmas Bird Count from December 14, 2010 to January 5, 2011, this is a great time to feed and enjoy watching the birds at your backyard feeder,” noted Eric Juergens, Senior Marketing Manager for Kaytee. “Customers have observed that the wild birds appear to be enjoying the KAYTEE Winter Blend in their feeders.” The new KAYTEE Winter Blend is available in 6.5 lb bags at select retail outlets.
