About Pennington Bird Seeds: In 1960, Pennington Seed established a bird feed experiment station which offered birds a choice of 48 different types of seed. The intake amounts of each variety were measured and recorded weekly. Using this valuable information, along with research on nutritional values, Pennington was able to determine specific formulas preferred by the different bird types. Today, the birds' choice of seed, their dietary requirements and the food value of each ingredient is used to establish a balanced ration. In addition, vitamin and mineral supplements, not readily available in nature, are added to the bird seed mixtures, creating an enriched seed diet birds love. Bird-Kote is a special coating added to the seed when it is packaged. It contains added nutrients, vitamins and minerals for birds. Vitamin A and D-3 are also added to replace their natural deficiency in seed. The vegetable oil used in Bird-Kote enhances birds' attraction to the seed, as well as adding a concentrated source of energy. www.penningtonseed.com.
