Check out this one-eyed cardinal that's been visiting my dad's bird feeder.

Totally random question, but what are the brightly colored pieces in the birdseed?

I’ve got a one-legged grackle that visits my feeder occasionally!

My dad keeps cockatiels and monk parrots. He has just been loading his feeder with the same food that he feeds them. Not sure what the colored stuff is.
