Seed Blocks--convenient, easy-to-use, no-mess--and the birds and wildlife love them!

Mike Dunn, CEO of Duncraft, says it best about the broad line of Seed Blocks newly introduced by Duncraft: "In my over 30 years in the 'bird' business, I can't remember when I had as much fun setting out food and watching birds gather and enjoy themselves! There is so much activity at my blocks – birds large and small – it’s great fun!"

There really isn't an easier or more versatile way to feed your backyard birds and other critters than offering them long lasting, densely packed Duncraft Bird and Critter Blocks. Simply unwrap a block and set it on the ground--or on a platform if you choose. Or select smaller blocks shaped to fit hanging basket feeders or cylinder shaped blocks to fit our Haven Block Post Station. Filling couldn't be easier—just unwrap and drop in a block. Our blocks are a real convenience in finger-numbing winter weather--or whenever you're in a hurry and looking to save valuable time.

And seed blocks aren't only fun and easy to use, they're real problem solvers too, in keeping wildlife and bigger birds away from your established bird feeders! Blocks are a perfect food diversion for squirrels and other critters. Simply set a Critter Block several feet away from your feeders--squirrels and chipmunks can't resist this delicious meal and will leave your feeders alone. Mike Dunn’s favorite is the Wildlife Snack Critter Block, made from Duncraft’s very own Wildlife Snack, a premium blend of yellow corn niblets, sunflower seeds, wheat, peanuts and peanuts in the shell.

You'll find that larger birds such as mourning doves and jays prefer to eat from seed blocks rather than try to negotiate small perches on feeders. Your small songbirds will be left to eat in peace at their feeders. Choose from Bird Blocks made with pure black oil sunflower seeds, or a delicious variety of seeds, such as sunflower hearts, millet, corn, safflower, peanuts, Nyjer and canary seeds.

Jan P., a long-time Duncraft customer from Pittsfield, NH, wrote us: "I was recently given several large critter blocks as a gift from my sister. I had never served seed blocks before. I set one out on the edge of our rural backyard. The next morning I was delighted to see a large flock of wild turkeys surrounding the block and eating to their hearts’ content! What a sight! Now they are frequent visitors to my yard. Since then, I've seen crows and squirrels eating the blocks as well--and my smaller birds have their feeders all to themselves. I've never enjoyed this much activity in my backyard!" We are so pleased Jan is having fun feeding her backyard menagerie and that our new seed blocks play a key role in her daily enjoyment!

Duncraft offers several handy feeder options to keep seed and critter blocks fresher, neater and off the ground. Our Haven Block Post Station and Seed Block Platform Feeder are perfect for serving up our Haven 100% Sunflower Blocks, our Haven Select Blocks and our Haven Premium Blocks. Or try a Giant Premiun Bird Block, Select Bird Block, Giant Sunflower Bird Block or Wildlife Snack Critter Block or Value Critter Block in a ground feeder--our Ground Feeder with Roof would be the perfect! Hanging feeders are also a great way to keep seed blocks fresh. Our E-Z Fil Sunflower Blocks, Tasty Mix Blocks and Premium Blocks fit perfectly in our E-Z Fil Roofed Basket and our E-Z Fil Basket Feeders.
