Wild Bird Food & Feeders

Watching and feeding wild birds is an engaging recreation that often grows into a passion. Here in the UK there are many wild birds that will visit garden feeders, all of which are intriguing and fun to watch. Wild bird feeding is also a great way to demonstrate stewardship of the surrounding environment, helping to restore a bit of the natural balance that we humans are notorious for upsetting.

Although winter is the traditional wild bird feeding period, it has been established that wild birds need to be fed all year round. Natural foods become scarce after winter until a new crop of seeds and berries ripen in late summer. Wildlife biologists have found that wild birds nest earlier, quicker, and have more successful nestings when supplemental foods are offered. This is due to less time spent foraging and competing for low food reserves after winter. You can attract a large variety of wild birds throughout the year by establishing a year round bird feeding programme.
