We can show you how to turn your yard into a birdfeeding habitat that brings song, color and life to your home.

 

Feeding Rose-breasted Grosbeaks

Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are easy to attract to your birdfeeders because they like a wide variety of seed and are comfortable at many types of birdfeeders.

Foods to Offer

Rose-breasted Grosbeaks prefer black-oil sunflower, safflower, and striped sunflower.  A perfect blend for them is our Supreme Blend.
They'll also eat seed cylinders and stackables.
You seldom see grosbeaks at suet feeders but we have seen them take a nip of Bark Butter now and then.

Feeders to Use

Grosbeaks eat from a variety of elevated feeders including hopper feeders, tray feeders, and tube feeders.  They'll visit a seed cylinder feeder and we've had them visit window feeders as well.
The feeder should have a perch since grosbeaks are not clinging birds.  They seldom eat on the ground.

Other Ways to Help Grosbeaks

Have a source of fresh water available for your birds and you might enjoy seeing grosbeaks drinking or bathing in the water you provide.

Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are here only during the breeding season.  During the winter, they thrive in shade-grown coffee farms.  Drink certified Bird-friendly shade-grown coffee to help ensure that these beauties return to your yard year after year.
