“Delco Wildlife Mix – big bites for the wild side of your backyard.”

Bring your whole backyard to life with DeLco Wildlife Mix, a robust feed crafted especially for squirrels, deer, and many other wild visitors. This mix combines shell corn, cracked corn, recleaned wheat, steam‑rolled corn, raw peanuts in the shell, peanut pieces, and striped sunflower to deliver dense energy and long‑lasting feeding on the ground or in open trays. The large kernels and peanuts encourage natural foraging behavior and keep wildlife busy longer, making it ideal for feeding stations at the edge of your yard, along tree lines, or near woodlots. Use it to draw wildlife away from your main bird feeders or to create a dedicated wildlife viewing area where you can watch squirrels, deer, and other critters enjoy a satisfying, high‑calorie meal.​

You can position DeLco Wildlife Mix in ground feeders, low platforms, or simply scatter it in a safe, visible spot where wildlife already travels, adjusting the amount based on activity and season.​

How it differs from bird‑focused blends

Compared with standard bird‑only blends (like Delco Premium Wild Bird, Patio Mix, or No Waste formulas), DeLco Wildlife Mix is built around larger grains and whole nuts instead of small, shell‑free seeds. Bird blends emphasize sunflower meats, millets, safflower, Nyjer, and peanut pieces to fit tube, hopper, and platform feeders and to attract a wide variety of songbirds with minimal waste. Wildlife Mix, by contrast, leans heavily on shell corn, cracked corn, wheat, and in‑shell peanuts, which are easier for squirrels and deer than for finches or small perching birds.

Standard bird mixes are often marketed as “no waste” or “no mess,” using hulled seeds to reduce shells and cleanup, while Wildlife Mix is unapologetically chunky and will leave more hulls and cobs where it is fed. Bird blends are designed to maximize appeal to desired songbirds and sometimes to discourage squirrels (for example, safflower‑heavy mixes), whereas Wildlife Mix does the opposite: it deliberately attracts squirrels and larger wildlife and may even help keep them occupied so they raid your bird feeders less.
