Our award-winning super-clean seeds are safer for Britain's birds because uncleaned seed mixes can contain dust, debris and waste husk which are all harmful to birds. We've been feeding the nation's birds since 1937 and all our garden bird diets come with a money-back guarantee and home or office delivery is included on orders over £30 to UK mainland destinations.
Our feeders come in all shapes and sizes including squirrel proof to stop grey squirrels in their tracks. We stock easy to clean Droll Yankee (Lifetime Guarantee), Bill Oddie's feeders and more. A high-quality feeder will typically last longer. Many of ours can be adapted with accessories to improve feeding results and save bird seed from getting wet, for example. If you have squirrels in your garden, consider a squirrel proof feeder as you’ll save money in the long run.
Your wildlife garden will be full of birds in no time and that's when garden bird enthusiasts often turn their attention to nest boxes, bird baths and bird health - often asking how to clean bird feeders and feeding stations. This wildlife category will help you select the best nest box for your wild birds, make fresh water available daily, keep grey squirrels at bay, and help you choose safe, bird care hygiene essentials.
The Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) is a very small passerine bird and is a member of the Tit family (Paridae).
They can easily be identified as it is the only tit with a blue wing, tail and crown. It has a yellow chest and a black line runs through the eye, around the nape and cheeks. A white border surrounds the blue crown, while the back is a greenish colour, with yellow colouration on the rump. The bill is black with a brownish tip; legs are a deep slate blue.
The Blue Tit has high mortality especially during harsher winters and really benefits from the food we provide. Also by having a nest box in your garden will give the birds a sheltered warm place especially if you line it with some wood shaving or nesting material. Blue Tits will readily take too closed in nest boxes with a 25mm diameter entrance hole and at Haiths we do a nest box which is just ideal for them.
We are particularly lucky at present to have a high population of Blue Tits which is thought to be due to un-natural survival through the beneficial effects of our winter bird feeding and with our help we can make sure they have enough food and water to drink and bathe in during the cold weather. By watching these sweet little birds they can bring a lot of enjoyment.
