Lyric chickadee was created to attract the cute, little, "formal" and friendly chickadee to your backyard. Chickadees like seeds like black oil and black striped sunflower for the kernels they contain. Lyric Chickadee contains these two seeds as well as the shelled kernels. Additionally, this mix contains shelled peanuts, pecans and pistachios. You may want to even try putting some in your open hand and see if these birds will accept your invitation.
