FAQs

What does 'No Mess, No Grow' actually mean?

'No Mess' refers to the removal of husks and shells from ingredients like peanuts, reducing waste and cleaning. 'No Grow' means the seeds are processed so they will not germinate and grow unwanted plants in your garden if they fall.

What types of birds will this seed mix attract?

This mix is designed to attract a variety of common garden birds, including Robins, Blackbirds, Tits, Finches, Sparrows, Thrushes, and Siskins.

Can I use this seed mix all year round?

Yes, this mix is suitable for year-round feeding and provides essential energy and nutrients for birds in all seasons.

How should I store the bird seed?

Store the bird seed in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container, to keep it fresh and prevent moisture absorption.

Is this bird food suitable for baby birds?

While this is a high-energy food, parent birds will break it down to feed their young. However, for very young chicks, softer foods might be more appropriate, typically provided by the parent birds themselves.

What is the main benefit of the peanut granules?

The peanut granules are high in protein and fats, providing essential energy for wild birds, helping them stay healthy and active, especially during colder months.

Does this product contain any artificial additives?

The product is described as a 100% natural blend, indicating it does not contain artificial additives.

Troubleshooting

No birds are visiting the feeder.

Ensure the feeder is placed in a location birds feel safe, ideally near shrubs or trees for cover. Check that the feeder is clean and refilled regularly. It may also take time for birds to discover a new food source; be patient.

Seed appears damp or moldy.

This can happen if stored in a humid environment or if exposed to moisture. Discard any moldy seed immediately to prevent bird illness. Ensure the seed is stored in a dry, airtight container and that feeders are cleaned regularly and have good drainage.

Squirrels or larger animals are consuming the food.

Consider using a squirrel-resistant feeder or placing the feeder on a pole with a baffle. While this mix is designed for smaller birds, larger animals may still access it if not adequately protected.
