450g Fat Balls

Our Fat Balls have a new and improved recipe providing more nutrition, energy and health benefits to wild birds.

The Balls have a higher fat content than most other balls you can buy and are packed with Energy providing birds with more energy.

The distinct colour comes from the use of maize flour which allows you to pick out our quality fat balls from paler imitators. Maize flour has health benefits for the birds as it contains Vitamin B-6 which helps birds break down food to get extra energy from the balls. Along with antioxidant carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin.

The balls also contain quality seeds such as Red Dari and whole sunflower seeds which are loved by birds.

More than ever we know these Fat Balls are a high energy, nutritious and are an extremely popular treat for all your visiting garden and wild birds. 

Due to the fragile nature of fat balls and time in transit it is possible that up to 10% of the fat balls may be broken in the box. These broken balls will still attract birds and can be fed from most fat ball feeders or from a ground feeder.

Due to the high fat content of the balls, they will start to break apart in heavy rain, we do suggest keeping them in a fat ball feeder with a protective lid.

Ingredients include:

Kibbled Maize, Wheat, Beef Tallow, Calcium Carbonate, Red Dari and Sunflower Seeds.

Dried Mealworms are a tasty treat that birds find irresistible.

Many species, especially robins and blackbirds, love these additive-free treats, which have all the goodness of live mealworms (beetle larvae) but not the moisture. Sprinkle as they are, or rehydrate by soaking in warm water for a few minutes. Supplied in re-sealable, recyclable pots.

Store in a cool, dry place and use year round.

Most garden birds will eat many different foods. Here's a quick guide to the birds that particularly enjoy this food, though other species may also enjoy it too:

Bird Bath importance

Water to bathe in is just as important for birds, especially in winter & Summer. It is essential that they keep their feathers in good condition. Bathing is an important part of feather maintenance. Dampening the feathers loosens the dirt and makes their feathers easier to preen.

Pick a secluded spot in your garden, cut a hole big enough for the bowl and dig 12 cm deep, enough for the bowl to sit snug in the ground.  Fill with water and watch as birds of all sizes flock to your garden, to bath and preen their feathers in luxurious bath!
