Wild Bird and Animal Live Feeds

Animal and Wildlife Feeds | Wild Bird and Animal Live Feeds

Spring has sprung!

As spring rapidly gets under way, you will have noticed how our wild bird population is already well into egg laying and chick rearing, this is where a helping hand can only do good, a little bit of natural live food works wonders for the survival rate of these chicks, it also helps mum and dad, cutting down the monumental effort they have to put in. When birds are helped like this, it may give them the chance to raise an extra brood, ok more work but it will help the population of our dwindling wild birds.

Earthworms are very nutritious, being high in protein, minerals and vitamins, making them one of the most beneficial foods to be included on the bird table, particularly in the winter months when worms are scarce.
Worms are less attractive to some of the more unwelcome table visitors, allowing the birds to get their fair share. You will find the addition of a few worms will be a greatly appreciated addition to your bird table.

Standard and Mini Mealworms are the larvael stage of the flour beetle and are becoming one of the most established and important wild bird feeds, reasonably high in protein and like all live worms/grubs can make the difference between wild bird survival or not, particularly in a tough winter and equally - in a hot dry summer, when food can be scarce.

Regular Mealworms plus feeder

Regular (2cm - 4cm) + Alcatraz feeder
This mealworm feeder, nicknamed the "Alcatraz" (once in, they can't escape!) is designed in such a way that when the mealworms are put into the pot they cannot climb up the sides and escape, it is more than a container with smooth sides it has a moulding that creates an overhanging lip that the mealworms cannot get around, The pot is shallow enough for even the smallest of birds, ie Robins etc to be able to pick out the mealworms, being shallow with a relatively large base area, complete with drainage holes, it will not tip up when larger birds such as Blackbirds alight on the rim.
