There is little more beautiful than waking up in the early morning, looking out of your window and seeing wild birds flying around and enjoying your garden. There are many breeds of bird that are becoming rare and so seeing one of these species is an even nicer treat.

Many of us take the time out to feed wild birds and encourage them into our gardens but how do we know that the food we are giving them is the right stuff? Lots of us just use shop bought bird seed or even just pieces of bread to feed our feathered friends. Whilst the birds will enjoy this and are likely to eat everything that you give them, this food is bland and doesn’t have the best nutritional content that it could have. What you really want is a decent natural bird food that is both affordable for you and beneficial to the birds.

It doesn’t matter what type of feeding device you have in your garden what matters is the quality of the bird seed that you give them. These birds are a delight to watch so by making sure we give them quality bird seed which a variety of ingredients you can ensure that they are around for you to enjoy for as long as possible.

The right bird seed will have a variety of fruit, nuts and seeds in its mix. This helps to keep the birds interested and give them a good variety of vitamins and nutrients. This is just as important for them as it is for us!

You can get decent bird seed from many of the ’old fashion’ pet shops however these are not in every town or city. The easiest way to get your hands on some good quality bird seed is to shop online. There are specialist shops that are passionate about making sure that bird seed (and in fact all pet food) is decent and good quality. By shopping at one of these websites you can be assured of the bird food quality.

So next time you are looking for food to feed the birds in your garden, look a little further and make sure your bird seed has great health benefits.
