FAQs

What is the best all-round wild bird food?

A nutrient-packed wild bird mix is a great all-rounder for most small birds, though larger birds may have difficulty with these feeders – peanuts are a great alternative to suit the larger wild birds in your area!

Can old bird seeds hurt birds?

Old bird seeds aren’t tempting to wild birds, and can start growing mould which can harm any birds that do try to eat them.

Do birds eat wet birdseed?

If wet seeds overstay their welcome, they are also likely to grow mouldy, harming birds. When providing birdseed, like setting dinner for your guests, make sure the seeds are dry and fresh.

Should I put bird food out in the rain?

It’s tempting to toss out bird food when it's pouring heavily, but that’s a big no. The food turns into a sticky, undesirable mess that birds dislike. It also becomes a breeding ground for mould, and could attract undesirable slugs, snails, or rodents.

What is the best time of day to feed birds?

Birds enjoy their meals as sunrise specials at dawn. Keep your feeder topped up as and when they need it and try and keep it from running completely empty. The wild birds in your garden are creatures of habit, and will keep coming back if they know your garden is always in plentiful supply.
