What kind of bird food attracts the largest variety of bird species?

Posted by Filed Under Thistle Bird Feeder with 5 Comments

I live in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and I’ve been fascinated by birds for as long as I can remember. Recently, my grandfather and I built two plastic-bottle birdfeeders. We don’t usually see a lot of blue jays, but they *do* live in the area. I want to attract as many different species as possible. Will standard mixed bird feed work, or is there anything special to attract specific birds in the area? A few examples of some of the birds that I want to attract are blue jays, robins, chipping sparrows, other sparrows, finches, doves, and common grackles (locally known as "blue-headed blackbirds"). It doesn’t have to be just those species, though.
Anyway, an answer would really be appreciated. Thanks for the help.
