The Science Behind High-Energy Bird Food and Why It Matters
As winter takes hold across the UK, wild birds face a challenging time. With natural food sources dwindling, the energy demands for survival soar. This is where high-energy bird foods, such as Haith’s premium blends, play a crucial role. But what exactly makes them so beneficial?
The science lies in their expertly balanced nutritional content. High-energy bird foods are packed with fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Fats, particularly from suet and seed oils, are a dense energy source that helps birds maintain body warmth in freezing weather. Proteins, from ingredients like sunflower hearts and peanuts, are essential for muscle repair and feather maintenance, which is vital for insulation. Carbohydrates, sourced from grains and fruits, provide the quick energy needed for foraging and flight.
Research supports the importance of fats during winter, as birds’ metabolic rates skyrocket to cope with the cold. Haith’s ensures their bird foods are not only nutrient-rich but also highly digestible, maximising energy efficiency.
Beyond survival, Haith’s high-energy blends support overall health. Calcium strengthens bones, while added antioxidants boost the immune system, helping birds fend off illness during harsh weather.
By offering scientifically formulated high-energy bird food, you’re not just feeding garden birds—you’re helping them thrive through the toughest months. When spring arrives, they’ll be fit, healthy, and ready to breed.
Invest in Haith’s. It’s good for birds, great for nature, and a rewarding way to support UK wildlife.
