FAQs

What types of birds is this food best suited for?

This mix is specifically designed for robins and songbirds but is also suitable as a high-energy, all-year-round feed for most common garden birds.

Can I feed this mix all year round?

Yes, it is formulated as a high-energy feed suitable for all seasons, providing essential nutrients when natural food sources may be scarce.

How should I store the bird food?

Store the bird food in a cool, dry place, ideally below 14°C, and in its original reusable bag to maintain freshness.

Does this food contain whole peanuts?

No, this mix is carefully prepared with chopped peanut granules. All chopped peanuts are sieved before inclusion to ensure whole peanuts, which can be a hazard to small birds, are not present.

What are the main nutritional benefits?

The mix is rich in vitamins, proteins, and oils, providing a balanced and complete diet. Key ingredients like sunflower hearts offer high energy, while Gammarus provides essential protein.

Is this suitable for birds with nut allergies?

The product may contain nuts. While ingredients are processed for bird safety, it's advisable to be cautious if you know specific birds in your garden have sensitivities.

What is Gammarus?

Gammarus is a small dried shrimp, which is a good source of high protein, similar to mealworms, offering valuable nutrients for birds.

Troubleshooting

Birds are not eating the food.

Ensure the feeding location is safe and accessible. Birds may be wary of new food; try mixing it with a familiar food initially. Check that the food is fresh and has been stored correctly.

Food appears to be getting moldy.

This can happen if stored in a damp environment or if exposed to moisture. Ensure the food is stored in a cool, dry place and that feeders are cleaned regularly and kept dry.

Attracting unwanted pests (e.g., squirrels).

Use feeders designed to deter squirrels, such as those with cages or weight-activated mechanisms. Avoid overfilling feeders and clean up spilled seed around the feeding area.
