What are Wild Bird Seed Mixes?

Why should I feed Wild Birds? 

Providing food for wild birds can help support them throughout the year, particularly during periods when natural food sources are less abundant. Feeding birds can also encourage a greater variety of species to visit your garden, allowing you to enjoy wildlife up close. 

What birds do Wild Bird Seed Mixes attract? 

Wild bird seed mixes can attract many common garden birds, including robins, finches, sparrows, tits, dunnocks, blackbirds and coal tits. The species you attract will depend on the mix used, your location and the type of feeders available. 

When should I feed Wild Birds? 

Wild birds can benefit from supplementary feeding throughout the year. Feeding is particularly valuable during winter when natural food sources may be scarce and during spring when adult birds are feeding their young.

Wild bird seed mixes can be placed in bird feeders, seed trays or on bird tables, depending on the species you wish to attract. Ensure feeding areas are regularly cleaned and replenished with fresh food as needed. 

Where should I place Bird Feeders? 

Bird feeders should ideally be positioned in a quiet area of the garden where birds feel safe from predators. Placing feeders near trees or shrubs can provide birds with shelter while still allowing clear access to the food. 

How often should I refill Bird Feeders? 

Bird feeders should be checked regularly and topped up whenever food levels become low. During periods of high bird activity or colder weather, feeders may require more frequent refilling. 

Can Wild Bird Seed Mixes be used all year round?
