Birds

Which birds visit a garden is decided by what you put out and what you put it in. On food, a general seed mix draws the widest range, peanuts pull in tits and finches, nyger seed is fine enough for goldfinches specifically, sunflower hearts are high in oil and taken by almost everything, and fat balls carry birds through cold weather when insects are scarce. On feeders, the design does the filtering: caged and mini caged fat ball feeders keep larger birds and squirrels out, tall tube seed feeders suit mixes, flip-top feeders refill without dismantling, and a full dining station combines seed, peanut and fat ball feeders on one pole, which is what turns occasional visitors into daily regulars. A bird bath matters as much as food and is the thing most gardens lack, since birds need water for drinking and bathing year round, including in frost.

Birdy supplies the food range in five kilogram sizes across seed mix, peanuts and nyger plus fat ball tubs, with Peckish and Henry Bell on seed and nut mixes and ready-to-feed sunflower heart feeders, and Smart Garden, Moy and Redwood across dining stations, caged and lantern feeders, feeder fillers and bird baths.
