Fledge is a new innovation in bird food offering optimal foraging of energy and nutrients for busy parents and fledglings during the spring and summer breeding season.
Why 'optimal foraging?'
Birds are more likely to survive when they choose an effective feeding strategy and this we call optimal foraging.
Why Fledge?
Fledge hasn't been created to replace your birds' favourite bird food, it's been designed to feed alongside existing foods and offer extra energy, extra nutrition, and promote natural enrichment (encouraging natural sifting behaviour when fed on a bird table).
As a bird goes about its daily duties, just living, growing and reproducing, it consumes energy and nutrients which need to be replaced if it's to remain healthy and alive. Even finding and digesting food takes energy and nutrients. This is why providing good quality, clean and nutritious bird food is so important - the supplementary food we provide saves birds' energy and enables them to get on with the other important duties of bird life such as looking for mates, building nests and even sleeping.
Fledge goes one step further than traditional bird food, though, as it contains so much more variety and natural nutrition in the shape of spinach leaf, dried mealworms, wholesome hearts of sunflower, raisins, easy to forage small millet seeds, and peanut granules (to prevent choking) glossed in natural aniseed oil. Fledge is a conditioning tonic bird food and it promotes natural foraging behaviour.
A good bird food must (at the very least) offer birds the opportunity to extract more energy from the bird table than they spend flying to a feeder and essentially risking their lives.
Fledge gives your garden birds the nutritional edge.

"Birds Avoid It" by Mrs Dawn Aksoy
02 May 2017
Well I've never bought a bad product from Haiths, and I wouldn't necessarily say this is bad, but my garden birds hate this, they avoid it like the plague, they've stopped using any feeder that it's on. To be fair the pesky squirrel doesn't like it either, I wonder if it's the overwhelming smell of aniseed they don't like. I've got a lot of this stuff, so I'm going to keep trying, but do far no good.
No, I will not recommend this product
