One downfall of feeding wild birds is the mess that can be left behind. Discarded husks left on the ground can look unsightly whilst also attracting rats and other vermin. Seeds that fall to the ground can also sprout causing random patches of weeds under the feeders.
Our easy to understand guide will help you find the right bird feed to keep yourself, your garden and your feathered friends happy.
All the ingredients in no mess bird food have been specially selected to carefully create a mix of ingredients that ensure a clean seed mix that is free of husks and germinating seeds to ensure your garden is filled with feathery friends whilst also looking great.
The seeds in no grow bird food have been husked, flaked or kibbled and on some occassions heat treated, which damages the tissue inside the seed to prevent germination meaning that any leftover seeds will not sprout and grow.
