Food for Garden Birds

Why Support Garden Birds?

Garden birds not only add charm and liveliness to your garden, but did you know they also play an important role in your outdoor space? They enjoy eating various insects that can damage your garden, such as caterpillars, aphids, slugs, and beetles. In doing so, they contribute to a balanced ecosystem.

Types of Garden Bird Food

There are several types of bird food available for garden birds, but what are they best suited for?

Fat Balls: As the name suggests, fat balls are primarily hung up for birds like great tits and blue tits. However, other birds also enjoy them in winter. Fat balls are especially suitable for winter use in the garden because they are largely made from beef fat. This helps birds build up a fat layer to better endure the cold months.

Note! It’s better not to hang fat balls in their mesh netting, as birds can get their beaks or feet caught. Instead, place them in fat ball holders, such as the Trixie Fat Ball Holder.

Bird Peanut Butter: Peanut butter jars for birds can be placed in a special peanut butter jar holder. Bird peanut butter is rich in nutrients and calories, making it an excellent supplement to the daily diet of garden birds. It helps them build up a fat layer for better winter survival.

Four-Season Feed: Again, the name says it all! This bird food can be offered to garden birds all year round. A four-season mix is a blend of various seeds and kernels, developed to provide general benefits that birds can use throughout the year.
