How to Get the Best Out of Your Tube-Type Seed Feeders

To optimise your tube-type seed feeders with our feeder seed, ensure regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent blockages and maintain hygiene. Position feeders in a quiet, sheltered spot to attract more birds and refill them consistently to keep a steady supply. This approach will maximise visitation and encourage a diverse bird population in your garden.

The Key Ingredients of Our Feeder Seed Mix

Our Feeder Seed boasts a trio of key ingredients, each selected for their high nutritional value and appeal to garden birds:

Safflower: Offers a beneficial alternative to more common seeds, with a hard shell that's particularly favoured by larger birds.

Sunflower Hearts: The kernel of the black sunflower seed, rich in oil and energy, beloved by virtually all bird species for its ease of consumption.

Whole Hempseed: Packed with essential fatty acids and proteins, it's a super energy source.

Black Sunflower: Known for its high oil content, it provides the necessary calories to keep birds energised.

Attracting a Variety of Birds with Feeder Seed

This meticulously formulated mix is designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of bird species. The inclusion of high energy hemp and safflower seeds alongside sunflower hearts ensures that whether you're looking to attract finches, sparrows, or tits, our feeder seed has you covered. Its diverse composition caters to various dietary preferences, turning your garden into a bustling haven for birdwatching.

Feeder Seed FAQs

Will the seeds in the Feeder Seed Mix sprout if they fall to the ground?

While the mix is designed to be no-mess, with minimal waste and sprouting risk, occasional seeds may find their way to the soil. However, the high-energy, easily consumed nature of the mix greatly reduces the chance of unwanted growth.

What's the best way to store Feeder Seed to maintain its
freshness?

To keep your Feeder Seed fresh and appealing to birds, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using an airtight container can also help preserve its quality and prevent pests from accessing the seeds. Proper storage ensures the seeds remain high in energy and nutritious for your garden birds.

Is the Feeder Seed Mix suitable for year-round feeding?

Absolutely, our Feeder Seed Mix provides vital nutrition that can support garden birds throughout the entire year. It's particularly beneficial during the colder months when natural food sources are scarce.

Can all garden birds eat the Feeder Seed Mix?

Yes, our Feeder Seed Mix is universally appealing to a wide range of garden birds, thanks to its versatile ingredient list. It's especially perfect for those species favouring tube-type feeders.

Brilliant Food.

Really good clean seed. It doesn’t have lots of dust in it like some food you buy. The birds in my garden soon eat it and I have to keep filling the feeders up.

Hello June, thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that our Feeder Seed is meeting your expectations and providing a clean and delicious food option for the birds in your garden. Happy to hear that they are enjoying it so much. Thank you for choosing our product.

Best feeder seed I've found

This seed ticks all the boxes for me. Having tried quite a few seed mixes in the feeder, this is the one. The sparrows don't chuck unwanted seed on the ground, and the jackdaws and squirrels can't swing the feeder to empty it out (they get their own food). Regularly attracts goldfinches, greenfinches and chaffinches, as well as sparrows and robins.

Hello Sam, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Feeder Seed - High-Energy Oil Seeds. We are thrilled to hear that it has been the best feeder seed you have found and that it attracts a variety of birds. Thank you for choosing our product and happy bird watching!

Fantastic Oil Rich Seeds

"Loved by all the seed eating birds, it never clogs even in bad weather. Attracts all the species of tits and finches, some eat at the feeder, others snatch and go. But whatever their feeding habits, this is a superb quality mix and worth it's weight in gold."

Feeder seed popularity

"Finches absolutely love this seed mix. I have two six port feeders at the end of my garden and they are both emptied by the end of the day. Financially ruinous but very rewarding seeing the amount of birds it is helping to feed"
