Peckish Bird Food & Feeders FAQs

How good is Peckish bird food?

Peckish bird food comes from one of the leading UK producers. It's known for supplying high-quality, locally sourced and nutritious seed mixes, straight foods and suets to keep your garden birds happy and healthy. The Peckish Complete Seed & Nut Mix is a no-mess and no-waste staple for your feeders all year round.

How often should you feed wild birds?

There's no magic number as to how often you should feed birds in your garden. One of the best things you can do is monitor how much is left over after you put food out and get a sense of whether more is needed or if there's plenty left over. You can then tailor the amount you put out and how often you refill accordingly.


It's important to remember that wild birds have their food sources and your feed is only meant to be a supplement to their diet when natural resources are in short supply. Like in winter, for example, particularly during cold snaps.


The Peckish bird feed we stock is suitable for a variety of species, while the straight foods can help to attract specific birds to your garden.
Fresh water should also be provided for regular drinking and bathing.

How often should you clean bird feeders?

Bird feeders, stations, baths and tables can be hotspots for disease and infection transmission, so it's vital to regularly clean any in your garden. 


This includes removing any droppings and old food that may have accumulated. Wear gloves for washing down surfaces with a disinfectant and water mixture. Any gloves or brushes you use should be exclusively for this task because some avian diseases can transfer to humans.


Peckish recommend that their bird feeders and tables be cleaned and washed every two weeks to stay on top of hygiene. Their products in our range can be taken apart to aid the cleaning process, so you can protect and feed the birds in your garden for many years to come.
