Excellent product, excellent service.

We have been using feeder seed from Haith's for a number of years with complete satisfaction. It is clean, flows freely in the feeder tube, and the birds seem to love the mix, as they are always on the feeder. The delivery service is fast and reliable. We are happy to recommend Haith's to anyone.

Thank you, Ross for taking time to share your experience - it's good to read that you and your birds are happy.

Whole Hempseed: Packed with essential fatty acids and proteins, it's a super energy source.

Black Sunflower: Known for its high oil content, it provides the necessary calories to keep birds energised.
