The Peckish Complete Seed & Nut Mix excels at attracting a vibrant array of garden birds due to its diverse blend of 12 seeds and nuts, combined with its high-energy content. This makes it an excellent choice for supporting bird populations through all seasons, from the demanding winter months to the busy breeding season.
This mix is specifically formulated to entice common garden birds such as Robins, Blackbirds, House Sparrows, Tits, Finches, and more. The variety of ingredients ensures that different bird preferences are met, leading to more frequent visits to your garden. The high energy content is particularly beneficial, providing the fuel birds need for daily activities and survival.
A standout feature is its husk-free composition. This means you won't find discarded husks accumulating beneath your feeders, which not only keeps your garden tidier but also prevents the growth of mold or bacteria that can harm birds. All of the mix is consumable, reducing waste and providing more value.
The inclusion of Calvita nutrients—a blend of calcium and vitamins—supports stronger bones and healthy plumage, especially crucial for young birds and during nesting periods. This goes beyond simple sustenance, contributing to the overall well-being of your garden birds.
This mix offers great flexibility in how it can be served:
Bird Feeders: Ideal for tube feeders, mesh feeders, or feeder trays.
Bird Tables: Simply spread a generous amount on a bird table.
Ground Feeding: Suitable for scattering on the ground or a ground feeding tray, catering to birds that prefer foraging.
Regular replenishment, especially during peak feeding times, will encourage consistent bird activity. Ensure feeding areas are kept clean to promote a healthy environment for your feathered visitors.
Getting started with your Peckish Complete Seed & Nut Mix is straightforward, but proper setup, ensuring compatibility with your feeding equipment, and diligent care are essential for the best results.
Choose Your Feeding Method: Decide whether you will use a bird feeder, a bird table, or ground feeding.
Fill Feeders: Carefully pour the seed and nut mix into your chosen bird feeder, ensuring it's not overfilled to prevent spillage. For bird tables, spread an even layer. For ground feeding, scatter a small amount on a clean, open patch of ground or a designated ground feeding tray.
Placement: Position feeders or tables in a safe, open area where birds have a clear view of their surroundings to spot predators. Ensure they are away from dense foliage where cats might hide.
Initial Offering: It may take a few days for birds to discover a new food source, so be patient. Consistency is key.
Feeder Types: This versatile mix is suitable for most types of bird feeders, including:
Tube feeders: Ensure the seed ports are large enough for the mix.
Mesh feeders: Excellent for nuts and larger seed pieces.
Hopper feeders: Allow for continuous access.
Tray/Platform feeders: Ideal for mixed seed offerings.
Bird Species: Designed to attract a wide variety of garden birds, making it universally compatible with most common species.
Storage: The 20kg bag comes with a resealable pouch. After each use, ensure the pouch is securely sealed. Store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This prevents spoilage and keeps pests away.
Feeder Hygiene: Regularly clean your bird feeders and feeding areas. This prevents the build-up of old food, droppings, and potential bacteria or mold which can harm birds. Use a mild disinfectant and rinse thoroughly.
Avoid Contamination: Do not mix old, potentially damp or moldy feed with fresh feed. Discard any spoiled food immediately.
Pest Control: Store the large 20kg bag in a secure, pest-proof container if possible, especially if storing in a shed or garage, to deter rodents.
