Wild Bird Food & Treats

Always maintain a continuous supply of fresh food, as birds will come to depend on the food you put out.

Consider different foods and feeding methods. Some birds can hang from feeders while others may prefer table or ground feeding.

Only put out as much food as will be consumed in one or two days.

Fresh, clean water should always be available.

Feeding stations should ideally be located near cover. If there is a risk from cats or other predators, a greater distance or height should be allowed.

Food should be stored in a cool, dry place.

When feeding wild birds it is important to maintain an hygienic environment.

Ensure feeding stations are regularly cleaned with warm water and preferably a safe disinfectant.

Remove any wet or old food as soon as possible to avoid the build up of bacteria, moulds or toxins.

Help further reduce the risk of bacterial build up by having several feeding areas and relocating them regularly.

Wear gloves and wash your hands thoroughly after handling products.
