With our leading range of wild bird care products you can enjoy the beauty of birds all year round. We have everything you need to bring your garden to life including an extensive range of quality bird seeds, treats, feeders, tables, baths and other bird care accessories.
Different Foods For Birds
The wild birds that chose to visit your garden will depend on the type of food you put out for them. In store you can find a great range of feeds and treats, some of which will attract specific varieties. For example, woodpeckers may be shy but love suet. Therefore, if you put out suet pellets or blocks you will be much more likely to spot one. To attract a wider array of garden birds we recommend a wild bird seed mix which is popular amongst many birds.
Choosing The Right Feeder
Our range of feeders is as varied as our feeds. If you are putting out peanuts, choose a peanut feeder. If squirrels are a problem in your garden make sure to choose a tough squirrel proof design.
Positioning Feeders
Feeders should be positioned out of reach of predators such as cats. To help you do this we offer a wide choice of feeder hooks, hangers, brackets and stands. When choosing a spot in your garden for a feeder, be aware that some birds do not like feeding in areas that are too open. However, it is important to remember to put your feeder where you can see it and enjoy the birds it attracts!
Fresh Water Is Vital
As well as regularly putting food out, it is vital that fresh water is available for both drinking and bathing. We have a great selection of bird baths that are ideal for this. Ensure water supplies do not freeze up during winter months as birds need to keep their feathers clean to stay warm.
Keeping Things Clean
To protect birds from infections and diseases make sure you regularly clean feeders and feeding areas with a mild detergent. Clean up droppings, taking care to protect yourself by wearing gloves and washing hands afterwards. Also, make sure all leftover food and food made wet by the rain is removed as this helps to prevent the build up of harmful bacteria.
Making Your Garden Hedgehog Friendly
Don’t forget about the hedgehogs! It’s important to ensure your garden is hedgehog friendly and you can do so in the following ways:
Feeding Stations: Place out a food bowl offering water and hedgehog food. We stock Bramble’s hedgehog food which is specially formulated to give the right balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals for wild hedgehogs.
Hedgehog Homes: Make sure your garden visitors have a 5* stay when they visit. Our hedgehog houses are relatively small and are the perfect place for hedgehogs to shelter.
