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.
When we feed wild birds we have a responsibility to practice good hygiene and reduce the chances of cross-contamination. Thankfully, there are four easy steps you can take to do this.
Firstly, buy your seed from a reputable bird food supplier. Ensure that any seed given is super-clean and free of dust and debris. Peanuts should always be aflatoxin tested and fed in a mesh container during the spring and summer months. Peanut Granules are a suitable alternative for the breeding season.
Don't overfeed; put only enough food out for a couple of days. This will help to guarantee that your feeders will be emptied within two or three days and therefore less waste will fall to the ground.
Bird feeders and bird tables should regularly be cleaned with a disinfectant like, for example, Safe 4 and Vanodine these are both safe to use as a cleaning agent and are a better value alternative to more risky products like household bleach.
