There are of course many other species of birds and types of seeds or feeds than these such as the Orioles that prefer orange halves and nectar.  Peanuts in their shells are another choice for the Blue Jays, Titmice or Woodpeckers as long as they are unsalted.  Currants and raisins are a tasty treat for the Bluebirds, Carolina Wrens and Robins.  Many Finches like Canary seed as well.
