Crested Tit

It may not be a very colourful bird but it can be easily recognised with its distinctive short, spiky crest, black and white head and its black eye strip. Its bill is also black, the upperparts are grey-brown and the underparts are whitish. It is somewhat a talkative bird and it makes a constant sound “zee zee zee” which is a soft and bubbly trill and when repeated becomes the bird's song.

This lovely bird has been known to visit our gardens in search of food and will eat from bird tables and feeders.

The best foods to offer them are suet-based that include insects or mealworms, as these will provide the protein and energy that is crucial for them to survive during the colder weather.

    Clean canary seed

    Birds greatly benefit from our seed because it is exceptionally clean. We have meticulously eliminated dust, unwanted husks, and other foreign substances, which, if present in bird food, can harm their sensitive tissues and create opportunities for harmful pathogens to enter.

    We consistently prioritise the utmost quality of our seeds before offering them to our customers. However, our top recommendation for a premium bird-feeding experience is our Deluxe Canary Seed. It stands out as one of the finest options for canary bird diets. Its excellence has been proven over time and endorsed by experts in bird-keeping.

Furthermore, the inclusion of Niger Seed not only helps prevent egg-binding but also contributes beneficial tonic properties to the mix.

    Canary Seed & British Birds FAQs

    What should I feed my canary?

    A fundamental diet for canaries typically includes a blend of canary seed and millets. Additional bird seeds are incorporated to introduce variety and expand the range of essential vitamins and minerals. Depending on the season and housing conditions, adjustments in their diet are necessary to cater to their specific requirements. The composition of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, as well as minerals like calcium and phosphorus, varies depending on the seed variety. Hence, we have the flexibility to provide various seed mixtures or supplements to effectively address the specific needs and condition of the birds.
