Black oil sunflower seeds are the way to go for me, as I get a lot of birds on them. However, peanuts and suet are good too. Suet is a woodpecker and Carolina Wren magnet, and juncos, chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers and Blue Jays all take my peanuts. If I put 15-20 peanuts out, they are usually gone by mid-morning as the jays really like them. I also serve nyjer, but that is not nearly as popular. I don't give millet or cracked corn for fear that I will get overrun with House Sparrows.
