Bird seed for a food plot?

[beccrossee]

There are 3 main types of birdseed. Black oil sunflower, thistle, and mixed. Sunflower is good for bow season deer especially. They love the stuff but no one I know plants this in Louisiana. Don't plant thistle seed. Most mixed birdseed is predominately millet. There are minor amounts of milo, cracked corn, sunflower, and other small grains. Mixed birdseed should grow a weedy stand of millet. Not a bad idea; its a lot cheaper than any plot mix you'll find.
