Support & Care for Local Wildlife with Our High-Quality Bird Food

Providing wild bird food in your garden is a great way to support local wildlife, and at Vine House Farm, we offer a wide range of options for different species. We have a large selection of wild bird food available, including suet bird food, sunflower seeds, peanuts and more.

We also offer a wide selection of bird feeders, including seed feeders, peanut feeders, and mealworm feeders.

Seasonal Wild Bird Food for Year-Round Nutrition

Seasonality is important for wild bird food throughout the year, as the nutritional needs of garden birds change. During the spring, birds require a plentiful supply of food to help with successful breeding so high-energy seed, suet, and protein-rich mealworms are essential. In summer, the young are inexperienced at feeding so an easy food source greatly increases their chances of survival and in autumn, whilst more natural food sources become available, birds still benefit from small amounts of suet and seed offered from your garden. The winter months are when garden birds need your help the most, as if the weather is very cold and the ground freezes or is covered in snow, birds that typically feed on the ground can quickly starve to death.

Since we grow the majority of our wild bird food on our own farm, we maintain strict quality control while providing the right food for the seasons year-round.

We also provide free delivery on all UK orders, ensuring a reliable, cost-effective way to keep your garden birds fed in every season.

FAQS

When should I feed the birds?

Year-round feeding of garden birds is now recommended, as even in more rural areas of the UK the level of natural foods, and notably invertebrates including flying insects,has dropped significantly. It’s really more a question of what you feed at certain times of the year and in what quantity - more info here.

Why do birds throw seeds out of a feeder?

The most common reason is that the food is poor quality and/or contains seeds and grains which birds will discard in the search for something better - this often happens with seed mixes which contain fillers such as wheat. However, some species of bird, and notably the Coal tit, have a habit of tossing out perfectly good seeds in the apparent search for one of the perfect size.

What should I not feed to wild birds?

Don’t feed wild birds in gardens with bread, cooked fat (e.g. from a joint of meat)or any foods which contain salt.

Why won't birds come to my feeder?

Assuming there are songbirds in your area, then the most common reason would be poor quality food - e.g. a cheap seed mix. It might also be that the feeder is too close to somewhere that puts the birds off - so perhaps next to a fence with a pavement on the other side which is busy with people passing.

Do birds remember where feeders are?

Yes - once birds have found a feeder they will normally return regularly as they remember where it is.

Can you overfeed wild birds?

No, as garden birds will only eat the food they need.

What time of day do birds feed?

Throughout daylight hours. Though garden birds are particularly active first thing in the morning as they search for food to replace the calories lost overnight during rest and sleep. This is especially the case after cold winter nights when birds use energy in order to keep warm.
