Farmer Scott's Premium Wild Bird Seed Mix - 12.55kg Bag - Nutritious All-Season Feed for Garden Birds

Farmer Scott's Premium Wild Bird Seed Mix – 12.55kg

The bulk sack of Farmer Scott's Premium mix — 12.55kg, which is roughly a winter's feeding for a garden with a table and two hanging feeders. A general mix is the base of any feeding station: it brings the numbers in, and the specialist foods then pick out the particular species you want.

This is a general-purpose blend rather than a husk-free or no-mess mix, so expect some husk under the feeder and the odd seedling in the border come spring. On a table or scattered on the ground it suits sparrows, dunnocks and finches; in a tube feeder it will mostly draw tits and finches.

Performance & Benefits

• 12.55kg sack — enough for a full feeding station through a winter.
• General-purpose mix that suits the widest range of common garden birds.
• Feeds from a hanging tube feeder, a bird table or scattered on the ground.
• Bulk quantity, at a lower cost per kilo than the small bag.
• Keeps several feeders stocked without weekly reordering.

Suitable For

• House sparrows, dunnocks, chaffinches, greenfinches and goldfinches.
• Blue tits, great tits and coal tits at a hanging feeder.
• Blackbirds and collared doves feeding from the ground.
• Larger gardens and busy feeding stations in continuous use.
• More than a small garden with one feeder needs, and it is not husk-free — Henry Bell Sunflower Hearts 4kg is the cleaner option for a patio.

Feeding

• Fill a tube seed feeder, spread on a bird table, or scatter on a clear patch of ground.
• Put out what is taken in a day or two and let the birds clear it before refilling.
• Sweep or rake beneath the feeder regularly — husk and spilled seed attract vermin.
• Store the sack sealed, off the floor, somewhere dry and cool.
• Keep fresh water available for drinking and bathing. Made for wild birds only, not for human consumption.
