Our Top 3 Nutritious Bird Feed Choices 

Spring is well and truly here. With birds returning from their migration, nesting and having babies, it is the best time to feed them. Liven up your garden, and make a real difference  

They’ll be tired and hungry raising their young, so putting out some bird feed will go a long way to ensuring their survival. Wild birds have been under threat in this country for a while, with habitat and climate changes reducing their numbers. 

Birds are mostly omnivores. They like foods that are high in fat, protein and energy. Our top picks for bird feed will help you keep the birds in your area chirping. 

1.Calci Worms

Calci Worms are a versatile snack, suitable for wild birds, hedgehogs and reptiles alike. They are similar to mealworms but contain 20-40 times more calcium, promoting strong bones and eggs. This makes them just perfect for nesting wild birds.

Calci Worms are the larvae of Black Soldier Flies. Not only are they abundant in calcium, but they are also high in protein, fat and amino acids. This makes them a delicious and highly efficient snack for your garden birds. 

They are also appropriate for hedgehogs and other small vertebrates, unlike mealworms, which are unsafe for hedgehogs due to their phosphorus levels.

Feed your garden wildlife Calci Worms in bird feeders, bird tables or directly on the ground.

2. Suet

Suet, in its various forms, is absolutely brilliant for attracting and feeding birds. Packed with nutrients, energy and protein, these treats will keep birds coming back to your garden for more. 

Suet provides birds with instant, delicious energy. It does not melt in the heat and can be offered all year.

Peckish Coconut Halves are a natural and versatile option because they can be hung easily, look good in your garden and have all the benefits of coconut oil. Please ensure that you also have water available for your birds, when you are offering these out! 

3. Fat Balls

If you want to offer your garden birds an excellent feed, that is high in energy, we recommend hanging fat balls around your garden. Typically, fat balls are seeds and nuts, squashed together with fat, in a ball shape. 

Although you can make them yourself, purchasing them from a store will provide you with greater benefits, because you can be assured they are being formulated well. For example, Bucktons Fat Balls are specially made for easy consumption. 

Not only that, but they are calcium boosted for strong egg production, meaning the birds will have healthier babies, and they contain small seeds, making them highly nutritious and delicious.
