Bird Food

The most important periods to feed birds

In colder months, birds need high-calorie foods, like fat balls and suet treats, to maintain energy and body heat. Suet and fat-based options are ideal for winter feeding, while seeds and peanuts also offer rich sources of protein and fat.

In spring, the breeding season increases birds’ energy demands. Nutrient-rich foods like mealworms support parent birds and help them feed their young. Fall is a prime time for birds to bulk up before migration, so high-energy blends are essential as they prepare for long journeys. Whatever the season, feeding birds attracts diverse bird species to your garden or balcony.

Bird food of the highest and sustainable quality

At CJ Wildlife, quality and sustainability go hand in hand. Our bird foods are made with only premium ingredients, ensuring they meet the highest nutritional and safety standards. Every step in the production process of our bird food is designed to reduce our environmental impact and support the well-being of birds. We prioritize local sourcing wherever possible. Many of our ingredients, such as sunflower seeds and various grains, are locally harvested to minimize transport emissions.

Our organic bird food options meet the highest ecological standards, supporting sustainable farming practices that avoid pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Organic ingredients ensure that our bird food is as natural as possible, allowing you to make an environmentally friendly choice for the birds in your garden.

Different types of bird food

We offer a wide selection of bird food types, each crafted to meet different birds’ nutritional needs. Here’s an overview of some popular options:

1. High-calorie suet and fat balls are made from protein-rich ingredients and are perfect for winter. They attract different species, giving them essential energy to survive colder weather.

2. Peanut cake tubes and squares provide a rich energy boost for birds. They are a favourite of for instance blue tits, who benefit from their high-protein and fat content.

3. Our peanuts for birds are carefully selected to be aflatoxin-free, providing a safe, nutritious option for birds. They can be served whole or in smaller pieces, making them accessible to different bird species.

4. Straight bird seeds: Packed with healthy oils and energy, sunflower seeds are a versatile choice. Sunflower hearts, in particular, are husk-free, reducing mess and making them ideal food for finches and wrens.

5. Mealworms: These high-protein treats are especially popular during the breeding season, as they help parent birds feed their young. Rehydrating dried mealworms before serving makes them easier for birds to digest.

6. Our specially formulated peanut butter for birds is salt-free and nutrient-dense, providing a safe, high-calorie snack that birds love. Great for smaller species like finches, this treat is an easy way to keep birds energized.

7. Bird seed mixes: Blended with various seeds, our mixes are crafted to attract a wide range of birds, from sparrows to woodpeckers. Our wild bird seed mixes provide natural and safe nutrition for your feathered visitors.

Favourite bird foods for different bird species

Different bird species have unique dietary needs and preferences. To identify which birds are visiting your feeders, use our online bird guide, which offers helpful information about common bird species and the best foods to attract them. It’s a valuable tool for both seasoned bird watchers and beginners, helping you recognize and support the birds in your area.

Best places to feed birds

Where you place bird food significantly impacts birds’ safety and visibility. Choosing the right location can also attract a greater variety of species. Ideally, use our bird feeders which should be placed in a quiet, sheltered area with natural cover nearby, like bushes or trees, where birds can retreat if they feel threatened.

To ensure accessibility and reduce potential hazards, consider using different feeders for different food types. Hanging feeders are perfect for seeds and suet, while ground feeders suit species that prefer to feed lower to the ground. Bird tables offer versatility for larger spaces, and window feeders for birds are a wonderful option for close-up viewing.

Tips for placing bird food

1. Protect feeders with bird food from strong winds by placing them if possible near natural shelter like shrubs or trees, offering a safe feeding environment.

2. Face bird feeders away from the wind. This will keep bird food dry and secure.

3. Use squirrel-proof bird feeders to keep unwanted visitors away, an effective solution that allow smaller birds to eat undisturbed.

4. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the spread of diseases. Mold-free and non-toxic food, combined with clean bird feeders, helps maintain bird health.
