Spicy foods aren't for everyone, including the critters that seem to empty your bird feeders. In fact, people, rodents and other mammals feel the burn when eating peppers. Birds do not.
That's a great tidbit of information to know when creating foods that can satisfy birds but deter animals, such as squirrels and raccoons.
We are proud to offer the widest variety of hot pepper bird foods on the market. Shop now and see how our hot pepper foods can help you regain control of your backyard.
