Haith’s SuperClean Bird Seed – Clean, Polished and Perfect for All Birds

Whether you’re topping up a feeder in the garden or filling a dish for a beloved budgie, one thing matters above all else: quality bird seed.

Birds, whether wild or domestic, rely on seed as a daily source of energy, nutrition, and comfort. That’s why at Haith’s, we’ve dedicated decades of expertise to creating the very best bird food available.

Our SuperClean seed isn’t just clean – it’s carefully processed, polished, and prepared to make sure it’s safe, dust-free, and ready to support birds of every kind. From garden robins and goldfinches to indoor canaries and cockatiels, all benefit from the same promise: better seed, better health, better feeding.

Why clean seed matters for every bird

At first glance, seed may look the same no matter where you buy it. But look closer, and the difference between raw, unprocessed seed and Haith’s SuperClean seed is striking. Raw seed can contain:

  • Dust and husks that birds can’t digest.
  • Debris such as stalks, stones, and soil particles.
  • Broken or empty seeds that offer little or no nutrition.
  • Moisture or dirt that can encourage mould growth.

For wild birds, this can mean wasted energy searching for edible morsels. For domestic birds, it can mean dust in the cage, health risks from spores, and less
enjoyment of their food.

Clean seed solves all these problems. Birds get more nutrition with less waste, while owners and birdlovers get peace of mind.

    1. Selecting quality seed

    It begins at the source. We work with trusted growers and suppliers, some local to us in Lincolnshire, to ensure we receive the best raw materials. Healthy seed
    harvested and stored correctly is the foundation for the whole process.

    2. Initial screening

    On arrival at our factory, seed is screened to remove large impurities – twigs, stalks, stones, and anything that doesn’t belong. This ensures that only usable seed continues along the cleaning line.

    3. Grading

    Next, the seed is passed through precision grading machinery. This separates whole,
    nutritious seeds from lighter, broken, or empty husks. The result is a batch of seeds that are uniform, consistent, and reliable.

    4. Air cleaning

    Powerful air currents remove dust and fine particles that cling to seeds. This is a
    crucial stage, especially for domestic birds living indoors where dust can accumulate in cages and aviaries. By removing this irritant, we protect the respiratory systems of sensitive species.

    5. Polishing

    This is one of the steps that makes Haith’s unique. We gently polish our seeds to give them a clean, bright appearance. Polishing not only removes the very last traces of dust but also improves storage life and reduces crumbling.

    Finally, every batch is visually checked by our team before packing. If it doesn’t meet our SuperClean standard, it doesn’t leave the factory. That’s our promise.

The benefits for domestic birds

If you share your home with a budgie, canary, parrot, or finch, you want to give them food that’s safe, enjoyable, and good for their health. SuperClean seed makes all the difference:

  • Dust-free for healthier breathing. Domestic birds live close to us, often indoors. Dust in their seed not only affects them but can also become unpleasant in your home. Our dust-free seed reduces this risk.
  • Cleaner cages and aviaries. Less waste and debris means tidier feeding areas, fewer husks scattered about, and easier cleaning for you.
  • Better nutrition. Because every seed is carefully selected, polished, and whole, your birds get maximum benefit from their food.
  • More enjoyment. Birds are naturally selective eaters. Given a choice, they’ll always pick out the best seeds first. With SuperClean seed, the entire mix is palatable and appealing.

The benefits for wild birds

Out in the garden, wild birds need dependable nutrition, particularly during demanding times of year like winter, breeding season, and moulting. Clean seed provides:

  • Energy-efficient feeding. Birds don’t waste energy picking through husks or dust – every beakful counts.
  • Healthier flocks. By reducing dust and mould spores, SuperClean seed helps safeguard the health of wild populations.
  • A greater variety of visitors. Clean, fresh seed attracts more species, from sparrows and tits to finches and robins.
  • Less mess below feeders. With fewer husks and inedible pieces, you’ll notice less waste accumulating on the ground.

The benefits for you

It’s not just the birds who notice the difference – our customers do too:

  • A cleaner experience. When you open the bag or fill a feeder, there’s no puff of dust. Handling is pleasant and hygienic.
  • Value for money. You’re paying for seed, not waste. Every gram in the bag is usable.
  • Longer shelf life. Because it’s polished and dust-free, the seed stores better, keeping fresher for longer.
  • Peace of mind. Knowing that the seed has been through our SuperClean process means you can trust what you’re feeding.

Caring for birds, caring for nature

Feeding birds – whether in your home or your garden – is one of life’s simplest joys.
It’s also a responsibility. Choosing clean, dust-free seed helps maintain the wellbeing of individual birds, supports healthier populations, and contributes to stronger ecosystems.

At Haith’s, we’re proud that our SuperClean process allows anyone – from first-time pet
owners to seasoned bird lovers – to make a positive difference.
