Bucktons Fatballs Bird Feed Treats - 150pk

These Bucktons Fatballs are designed to attract a wide variety of common garden birds, including robins, blue tits, great tits, sparrows, chaffinches, greenfinches, and blackbirds, thanks to their high energy content and inclusion of black sunflower seeds.

Yes, these high-energy fatballs are beneficial for birds throughout the year. They provide crucial energy during cold winters, help adult birds during the demanding breeding season, and offer a valuable food source when natural forage is scarce.

To maintain their freshness and quality, store the fatballs in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The individual packaging in groups of six helps to protect them until ready for use.

While adult birds will readily consume these, very young fledglings typically require softer, easily digestible foods. Adult birds may break off pieces for their young, but offering specialist soft food during the breeding season is often recommended for the youngest birds.

The individual packing in groups of six is designed to maintain the freshness of the fatballs for longer, prevent them from drying out or spoiling, and make them more convenient to handle and store until you need them.

These Bucktons Fatballs are proudly manufactured in the UK, ensuring a high standard of quality and consistency in every pack.

Ensure the feeder is in a safe, visible location, preferably near cover but away from predators. Check the fatballs are fresh and not rancid. Birds can be wary of new feeders or food; allow some time for them to discover and trust the new source. Try placing fatballs in a different type of feeder or alongside existing food sources.

This can happen in warm weather or direct sunlight. Store fatballs in a cool, dry place. If melting is an issue, move the feeder to a shaded area of the garden. Consider using a weather-resistant feeder or breaking the fatballs into smaller pieces for a bird table.

Use squirrel-resistant fatball feeders which are designed with cages to deter larger animals. Position feeders away from fences, trees, or other structures that squirrels can use to jump onto the feeder. Consider bringing feeders in at night to deter nocturnal pests.
