A lot of people believe that wild birds will eat anything they find, but this is not true.

If you wish to bring your garden alive with the presence of these wonderful creatures, then make sure you give them food they will enjoy, and return for.

Bread scraps aren’t exactly the most palatable.

But then what do you feed them?

Read on a few great options

Attracting Wild Birds

Peanuts

Peanuts are the most popular food for attracting wild birds as a wide variety of birds love them.

Be sure to buy high-quality peanuts such as our Wild Bird Peanuts, because moldy peanuts can cause birds to become ill, or even die.

When feeding during the spring and summer, ensure all peanuts are fed from a mesh peanut feeder, as whole peanuts can be harmful to young birds.

Wild Bird Seed

Wild bird seed provides a great variety of nutrients to your garden birds.

It is wise to pick a seed mix that contains sunflower seed, as it is a highly nutritious and popular food for birds, especially tits and finches.

It has a higher oil level and energy value than other seeds, which is beneficial for the birds coming into the colder months.

Many wild bird seeds are stuffed with wheat or corn which most birds find difficult to digest, so be sure to buy a good brand with a variety of ingredients.
