Cole’s Cajun Cardinal Blend combines the seeds cardinals favor, including safflower and sunflower, with a habanero chili coating that keeps squirrels off the feeder. It targets cardinals and other large songbirds specifically while the heat handles the squirrel problem on its own.
Offer it in a hopper or platform feeder where cardinals can perch and feed, and handle it with care given the chili content. The safflower base is naturally less appealing to squirrels and blackbirds, and the chili coating reinforces that.
Cole’s Wild Bird Products has blended specialty bird feed in Kennesaw, Georgia for years, known for clean, high-quality seed and its hot-pepper line.
