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.
The Robin is a common favourite with most people and one of the easiest to recognise.
The Robin (Erithacus rubecula), is a small insectivorous passerine bird and is one of the UK’s favourites, it is simply known as the robin or robin red breast (due to the colour of its breast being bright red) the upperparts are brown, the belly is whitish and the face is lined with grey and both female and male are almost identical. In the winter, they are joined by migrants from Scandinavia and other parts of Europe which are slightly paler than our own.
The Robin has a melodious tone and can be heard all year round; their confident song is a delight to hear but can actually be a warning to other birds not to stray into their territory. Despite their cute Christmas card appearance, they are ferociously territorial and are very quick to drive away other robins.
They can be seen across the UK in woodlands, hedgerows, parks and gardens, and feed mainly on insects, worms and appreciate a good quality bird seed mix. Live mealworms are a firm favourite and the robin being one of the tamest wild birds can be easily trained to take food from an outstretched hand.
They are known for having a ‘sweet tooth’ and often take uncooked pastry and cake especially fruit cake, so if you have any leftovers these make a lovely treat on the bird table.
