Game Bird Mix

Description

Our Game Bird Mix is designed to attract and hold dove, quail, pheasants, and turkey. This diverse mix offers everything game birds need to thrive. Flowering plants like Sunflowers, Buckwheat, and Mustard will attract insects for adults and chicks, while seed-producing plants like Mung Beans, Soybeans, and Flax provide enough feed your birds will never have to leave. Whether you’re attracting migrating ducks and dove or creating a haven for pheasants and quail, our variety of millets and sorghums will make a perfect shelter for thick cover and room to roam. If you want a mix that provides habitat, nutrition, and attracts North American game birds, this is the mix for you!
