Safflower


Safflower is a high-fat, high-protein oilseed widely used in premium bird feed blends. Emerson Milling supplies clean, uniform safflower that is screened for consistent size and minimal debris. Its firm shell and nutrient-dense core make it a preferred choice in avian diets, particularly for selective feeding programs and species-specific mixes.


Available colored bird food variations:  Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Yellow, or Plain


Uses:

  • Wild Bird Feeding: Especially favored by cardinals, finches, and chickadees; commonly used in backyard feeders to attract desirable species
  • Selective Feeding: Naturally deters less desirable birds such as blackbirds and starlings, making it ideal for targeted feeding applications
  • Nutrient Boost: Adds energy-dense content to blends for breeding or overwintering birds
  • Parrot and Exotic Bird Mixes: Often used in custom formulations for larger birds requiring higher fat content
  • Retail Bird Seed Blends: Adds value and variety to premium wild bird products due to its palatability and shell integrity


Sizing options

  • Bulk
  • 50lb bags
  • 2000lb totes
