Feed the Birds - whether it’s snowing or not!

Although the very cold weather and snow appears to have lessened somewhat in many areas of the country, continuing to feed garden birds is critical for their survival at this time of year.

Garden Bird Supplies offers a comprehensive range of premium bird food along with a monthly feeding guide so that bird lovers always know the best food to put out for their feathered visitors.

The company works closely with Chris Packham, RSPB Vice President, television naturalist and author who says “At this time of year keeping feeders full with a constant supply of good quality food is really important. In the winter birds try to conserve as much energy as possible to keep themselves warm at night and to help them find their next meal. Once they find a constant supply of food they’ll stay nearby, ensuring the energy they gain from their food is greater than the energy they spent looking for it.”

Garden Bird Supplies offer a wide range of general and specialist bird foods from Ultiva® Original (a mix of high energy food perfect for year-round feeding) through to Bogena Harsh Weather Supplement (a complete supplement for fruit and insect eating birds such as Robins, Blackbirds, Thrushes and Wagtails).

Prices for all the food mixes are highly competitive starting from £6.99 for a 2kg bag of Four Season Table and Ground Mix. Individual food supplements are also available such as Niger Seed Thistle (fed as a tonic) or Kibbled Maize, ideal for smaller bird species.

As well as a comprehensive collection of bird food, Garden Bird Supplies also offer a large selection of feeders, live food (such as worms), bird baths, tables, nesting boxes and feeder accessories such as a handy Table Scraper at £6.99.

Part of the Flying Brands group, Garden Bird Supplies is one of the UK’s leading mail order suppliers and on-line retailers of bird products, with a comprehensive collection ranging from bird baths and books to nesting boxes and feeders.

Practical information on all aspects of feeding and enjoying garden birds is offered on the comprehensive website: www.gardenbird.co.uk

The company is a member of The Birds and Business Alliance (part of The British Trust for Ornithology) and is participating in the Garden Bird Health initiative (GBHi) organized by The Zoological Society of London.
