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.

Feeders and nest boxes. People put them up and then are disappointed when nothing seems to be eating or nesting. So, they E Mail me or collar me in the street and ask what are they doing wrong?
All I can reply-with a smile- is “you are being impatient! Just wait.” “Yes ,but how long?! “ Ah well, nest boxes I cant predict. Sometimes, they are occupied in their first season. Sometimes, in the second or third year, sometimes never. Patience, and luck!
Feeders don’t come with a guarantee – “your money refunded if nothing nibbles within a month!” –but the birds will find them, eventually! One thing I have noticed is that ,if for some reason I move a feeder even a few feet, the birds flutter round the space where it had been, and may not find it again for several days. This seems to imply that they are bit slow witted, but I am loathe to accuse them of that. More likely they have an initial wariness of a new position, and are drawn to a familiar one that they associate with food.
