Introducing the Mammal Mayhem Spicy Bugs, Nuts, & Berries Seed Cylinder, a gourmet seed blend crafted to attract a vibrant array of songbirds, while keeping pesky squirrels and raccoons at bay! Infused with hot pepper, this seed cylinder ensures that only your feathered friends will enjoy the feast, leaving the furry critters searching for snacks elsewhere.

How It Works: Birds' pain receptors are different from those of mammals, and they are not triggered by the capsaicin in hot peppers. This product works well deterring mammals most of the time. Rarely, a certain belligerent or desperate individual will decide it doesn't mind the heat and eat the seed anyway.

Best Use: Hot pepper bird feed products are best used when you are trying to "squirrel-proof" the existing feeder you already own and in landscapes with enough launching points to make baffled pole systems and hanging baffles ineffective. We recommend placing the item under a weather guard in a protected location to minimize degradation of the gelatin and movement of small particles from windy weather. Avoid using where pets or children might gain access to the food.

This standard 4-inch diameter cylinder has a half-inch hole down the center and fits in standard cylinder or seed log feeders for an easy way to feed the birds. The spicy flavor will keep the squirrels and racoons at bay, making the cylinder last a long time. To especially accommodate your cardinals and grosbeaks, try this seed cylinder with the EZFeeder and Weather Guard Combo, Recycled Large Red Cylinder Feeder and Weather Guard Combo,  or Little Bird Banquet Feeder. For woodpeckers and other birds that like to cling and to make it harder for European starlings and house sparrows to feed, try this easy-to-load Cylinder Seed Cake Holder with Top.

This mix is packed with a variety of delicious ingredients that songbirds love, offering a balanced diet of seeds, nuts, mealworms, and berries that cater to their nutritional needs. The Mammal Mayhem Spicy Bugs, Nuts, & Berries Seed Cylinder includes:

  • Coarse Sunflower Chips
  • Diced Tree Nuts
  • Shelled Peanuts
  • Mealworms
  • Cranberries
  • Diced Papaya
  • Juniper Berries
  • Gelatin
  • Hot Pepper (Red)

Attracts: Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Grosbeaks, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Finches, Sparrows, Blackbirds, Jays, Doves, Juncos, Robins, Waxwings, Bluebirds, Buntings, Tanagers, and Siskins

Birds Love it!

This variety keeps the squirrels away and the birds really like it way too much, I’m going to go broke…lol…
I’m going to hang these out over the winter rather than filling the feeder and will up the cylinder size too.

Birds love it

Squirrels not so much. They used to hang upside down and chow down on the regular bugs & seed cylinder. But I haven’t seen them at all on the spicy ones. Unfortunately the starlings love them too

Thank you for taking the time to review! We are glad to hear this cylinder is detering your squirrels. Yes, it is difficult to feed some birds and exclude others. If the starling are becoming overwhelming it can help to take you feeders down for 1-2 weeks and let them move off somewhere else. We also have a barrier guard cylinder feeder that is made specifically to keep starling out. You can check that out here: https://nature-niche.com/products/copper-seed-cylinder-feeder?_pos=2&_psq=barrier+guard&_ss=e&_v=1.0

I love it, raccoons hate it!!

I love feeding the birds, but at night the raccoons were stealing the birdseed, and sometimes the whole bird feeder! But this product works! My birds love it, and the raccoons don’t! It’s neater to use than seed too!
