Everything we do at Haith's, we aim to make a positive difference. We make handcrafted bird food daily on-site that is healthy, natural and fresh - it's been Haith's way since 1937. Our bird diets are blended on the premises by bird seed specialists. Each specialist has years of birdseed expertise.
Our bird feeders come in all shapes and sizes including squirrel proof to stop grey squirrels raiding bird food. We stock peanut feeders, birdseed feeders, niger seed feeders, and squirrel proof feeders for bird feeding. Many of our bird feeders 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.
Bird feeding is one of the simplest ways to open your garden to wildlife and if you're just starting out, rest assured your garden will probably be full of birds in no time. Every garden bird enthusiast eventually turns their attention to nest boxes, birdbaths and bird health in general - often asking how to clean bird feeders and feeding stations.
Mrs Downing from Yorkshire finally let us see her very own fat ball production line, which is inspected daily by her dog Harvey. This is what we found...
We asked for the recipe, and it sounds good enough for us to eat!
Here we go...bacon rind (unsalted of course)
Lard mixed with Haith's Original Wild Bird Food
A few leftover Christmas nuts (again, unsalted)
Topped off with a few dried mealworms.
Mix everything together and squash into egg cups (great idea!) and other formats - not forgetting to sink the string at the same time. (Good advice as it's too late once they've cooled off.)
A quick inspection from Harvey before popping them into the fridge...
...and they're ready to feed by the next morning.
Well done Mrs Downing.
The birds will love them and Bill Oddie would be proud of you!
