Would you like to print labels for your birdseed storage bins or cans? After reading my post on Storing Birdseed, Three Ways and seeing the seed labels I use, Laura asked if I could share my birdseed storage labels. So I’ve posted the jpg files here.
You are welcome to print them out for your own personal use to label your birdseed storage bins or cans. (Please do not use post them elsewhere online or for any other purpose. Thanks!)
Hope these are helpful.
