Bird seed mixes make the perfect picnic treat for a variety of birds.

Economy Wild Bird Seed

This mix is high in black sunflower seeds, and therefore high in protein.

Won’t Grow Bird Seed

Want to offer the perfect treat this National Picnic Month but want to avoid the regrowth under the feeding station? The Won’t Grow Bird Seed mix is for you!

Made up of 60% bakery-grade sunflower hearts, This energy-rich mixture has been formulated to ensure no re-growth under your feeding station.

As birds pick through seed mixes to find their favourite snack, they often spill from seed feeders onto your lawns and flower beds. With the Won’t Grow Bird Seed mixture, all seeds and cereals are de-husked meaning that whatever is spilt, won’t be wasted or cause damage to your garden. With de-husked and de-hulled seeds, birds are more likely to eat it all, as opposed to sieving through to find the easiest snack to eat.

There are a number of factors that make our suet so great:

Feeding Birds During National Picnic Month

National Picnic Month occurs in July - the height of Summer. This is also when we experience the height of motion, breeding and nesting season.

Choosing a bird seed mix that is ideal to feed birds in summer is key to making this National Picnic Month a successful month in your garden.

Birds require foods packed with energy and protein to look after themselves and their young during the summer months.

Offering a suitable summer picnic in your garden is an essential tip in ensuring that both garden and wild birds continuously visit your garden, beneficial for both them and you.
