As natural resources dwindle, there’s more of a need to feed garden birds and help them thrive.
Think of a bird’s natural habitat as a patchwork of fields, woods, towns and cities; your garden represents a vital patch that they can use as a stop-off to get much-needed energy.
Over the past 50 years, there have been substantial changes in the way we farm in the UK and Ireland. More intense farming methods have resulted in a loss of hedgerows and marshlands and this has impacted available feeding and nesting locations.
Wild birds are becoming more reliant on feeders in gardens as a result of this; both the RSPB and BTO recommend supporting wild birds by providing food all year round.
Peckish Complete Seed & Nut Mix and Peckish Daily Goodness Nuggets are an excellent staple food source, particularly popular with newcomers to bird feeding as they can be used at any time of the year.
In our Peckish range, we also offer seasonal and themed mixes which are more specific to changing needs. For example, during the spring and summer month’s, birds require lots of energy and protein to prepare for and support their new chicks.
During the autumn and winter, shorter days and harsh weather can make foraging for natural foods difficult. Peckish Winter Warmer Mix contains a combination of high-energy seeds and grains to give birds the extra nourishment they need during these cold months.
