The R.S.P.B. and The British Trust for Ornithology now recommend all year round feeding of wild birds. We stock & mix a wide range of foods to attract and help as many species as possible.

Below are examples of some of the foods we offer.

PEANUTS

The traditional wild bird food, also a desirable food for many wild creatures from squirrels to badgers. Our peanuts are aflotoxin tested and can be fed all year round as long as the whole peanut cannot be taken away for feeding to the young.

NUTS IN SHELL
String them together and watch the birds for longer as they try to get the nuts out.

PEANUT GRANULES

Include the germination point of peanuts which have a higher protein content that the rest of the nut, and can be fed on the table or in a seed feeder.

BLACK SUNFLOWER

This is a high Oil content seed and is overtaking peanuts in popularity and is the most cost effective means of supplying high energy food. It needs to be fed in a seed feeder as it will fall out of nut holders. Sought by all species especially Greenfinches.

SUNFLOWER HEARTS

This is a high energy food, suitable for all, including hedgehogs and has the added bonus of no mess. One of our most popular sellers

MILLET SPRAYS:

Suet balls in nets to hang from branches, bird tables or fat ball Holders. For all birds.

MEALWORMS:

Mealworms are an effective way of providing high quality protein that birds need in their diet. They will attract Tits, Robins, Wrens, Blackbirds, Thrushes & Woodpeckers. Feed all the year round preferably at the same time each day.
Some species become tame enough to feed from the hand.

WAXWORMS:

The large juicy Waxworm is even more popular with birds than Mealworms so mixing them helps cut down on the cost.

OYSTER SHELL GRIT:

Birds need an adequate calcium intake to help in the production of strong egg shells, and at other times of the year as a mineral supplement to aid digestion. Oyster shell grit is the natural calcium source to provide this aid. It can be fed by putting in a small dish on the bird table or mixed with seed.

HYGIENE:

If water is provided change it daily and disinfect containers on a regular basis. Regularly clean up under feeding areas and discard any old uneaten or mouldy food. Sweep bird tables off daily and thoroughly clean regularly. Move tables and feeders around the garden if possible or have several feeding sites.

SQUIRREL FOOD:

Squirrel feeding is growing in popularity, not only is it fun, it also helps to stop squirrels from destroying valuable bird feeders and stealing their food.
