Wild Bird Care TSV 31/12/23
I only use the sunflower hearts too, I usually get them on subscription from Amazon but top up from B&M Home stores or Tesco..Love feeding the birds. Its getting harder to buy bird food these days. WILKO's dont seem to be selling any and was my fav place to buy from. Robert Dyas have also stopped. Prefer Sunflower Hearts to mixed seeds that the birds pick and choose what they like. Nothing more irritating watching them throw away seeds and the mess. But QVC are way over priced specially when you add the huge postage costs.
We have 4 doves that come, couple of squirrels and then the little birdies. Love seeing our robin, he/she loves mealworms. We have feeders for the small ones and larger ones for the bigger ones. We have a couple of magpies come, but they are more interested in any cat biscuits the hedgehogs have left.I do like the Grumpy Gardener food but you have to make sure they are In the right feeder that only small birds can get at
It’s a shame we don’t have hedgehogs in our garden anymore we used to love watching them on the camera, we still put food out for the foxes thoughWe have 4 doves that come, couple of squirrels and then the little birdies.

Ohhh I will check out Tesco's never thought of them. Pun intended.I only use the sunflower hearts too, I usually get them on subscription from Amazon but top up from B&M Home stores or Tesco..
Foxes and the food recycling bins are a recurrent nightmare. We wedge them between the huge wheelie bins and lock them. They still manage to get to the food waste.We have 2 hedgie houses in the garden and both are occupied. We love our hogs. In the summer, if I'm a bit late with the food, they just sit there and wait for me. Still put food out now, as they sometimes wake up and want feeding.
We have a fox wanders round the gardens about 1 in the morning. Can hear him, never seen him though.
I had that problem and got a couple of rat boxes, then I decided that they were actually encouraging them into the garden so I have taken all the bird food down. I took the rat boxes in and hadnt seen any for absolutely ages until today when I found a dead one on my patioUnfortunately, we stopped feeding the birds because we got rats due to spills. Even when they say no mess, after a flock of starlings there is seed everywhere. Got rid of rats now, and cats help but am reluctant.
Used to get bird seed from The Range, garden centre and wilcos. Also Amazon.

Did Roland disappear because he ate peanut butter?I get big bags of bird seed from our local shop for a couple of pounds and suet balls at the cheap shop. We have a lot of birds in the garden but we do have to watch out for old Roland Rat and his mates. When we put those peanut butter things out they disappeared overnight - the holder as well - when we demolished the old shed all the empties were under there Where there's a rat there's a way!
