Where do you get your bird feed / seed?
« on: May 03, 2024, 19:32 »
As per the title - I used to get the Wilko bird seed from the stores, but they've now shut.

I have various small birds in the garden - coal tits, great tits, sparrows mainly at the feeder I use.

Where do you get your bird seed from? Preferably the pre-mixed type as I don't have room to store lots of different ones and mix them up.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

A maz on.  Which means we don’t have to carry it.

We use peckish.  Very good mix with very little wheat, so more suitable for small birds and quite a lot of the seeds have been dehusked, which makes for less mess.

That's really helpful, thanks.

Is that the Complete Seed and Nut mix, or one of the other many types they have? So much choice ::) :D

We've used Haith's as there are many choices for which birds you tend to get in the garden.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Ark Wildlife are good too - they do some specialist mixes.  https://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/  We like the ones without wheat in them, as only the pigeons seem to eat it.
