Frequently Asked Questions

What seeds are in Daro Mixed Bird Seed?
The blend contains two ingredients: Red Manna Seed and White Millet Seed.

Can I feed it to my pet birds and to wild garden birds?
Yes. The mix is formulated for both wild and domesticated birds, so it works in a cage or aviary dish as well as in an outdoor feeder or on a bird table.

Will it help bring more birds into my garden?
DARO designed this blend to attract a wide range of birds. Keeping a feeder regularly stocked in a quiet, safe spot gives local birds a reliable food source to return to.

How should I store the seed in South Africa's climate?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sun and damp. This matters most in humid coastal areas such as Durban, where moisture can spoil seed. Clean, dry storage helps keep it fresh between feeds.

Do my birds need anything besides this seed mix?
Always provide clean, fresh drinking water alongside the seed. This applies especially during hot Highveld and Lowveld summers, when birds need water most.

Which pack size should I choose?
The range comes in several sizes. Smaller packs suit a single pet bird or occasional garden feeding. Larger packs make more sense for aviaries, multiple birds or busy feeders that need frequent refilling.
