Bird food is food (often varieties of seeds) eaten by birds. The most important use of bird feed globally, is as feed for domesticated poultry. However (especially in developed countries), people also make or buy bird food to feed to pet birds or use in birdfeeders for wild birds. Birdfood can be natural or commercial. The choice of what to use as birdfood depends on the species of bird being fed.

Dead, with all the music:
While sunsets heard the brain’s music
Faded to last horizon notes.”
