Everything you need to know about wild bird food for gardens, balconies and bird feeders


Wild bird food supports wild birds in the garden, on the balcony or around the house. Particularly during the colder months, but also during breeding, moulting and rearing, titmice, sparrows, blackbirds, finches, robins and other garden birds can benefit from a suitable food supply. With high-quality wild bird food, you can create a valuable feeding station whilst bringing life and nature watching into your everyday life.

Wild bird food for various bird species

Not all wild birds eat the same things. Seed-eaters such as finches and sparrows prefer seeds, sunflower seeds and seed mixes. Soft-food eaters such as blackbirds, robins and thrushes enjoy oat flakes, berries, insect food or suet. Tit balls, peanuts, scattered feed and suet blocks are popular supplements for many native bird species.

Should you feed wild birds all year round or just in winter?

Wild bird food is particularly commonly provided in winter, when natural food sources are scarcer. Moderate year-round feeding may also be advisable, depending on the environment, provided that feeding stations are kept hygienic and stocked in a species-appropriate manner. It is important to provide fresh food regularly and to remove any old or damp food residues.

Setting up a feeding station correctly

Whether it’s a bird feeder, a feeding post, a fat ball holder or a ground-level feeding area – the feeding spot should be sheltered, clearly visible and, where possible, cat-proof. Make sure the food stays dry and that the birds can easily reach it. Clean feeding areas help to prevent disease and make feeding wild birds a more pleasant experience for both people and birds.
