Feeding Guide
Offer this feed in small amounts at a time, aiming to keep only 1 to 2 days' worth in the feeder. Fresh seed is the better choice for wild birds, and keeping the feeding area topped up in small amounts helps reduce waste.
- Put out only 1 to 2 days' food at once
- Remove old feed before adding more
- Move feeding stations regularly to help discourage pests
- Wear gloves when handling the seed or feeders
- Wash hands after handling
Storage & Care
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Good storage helps keep the seed in better condition between uses and supports a cleaner feeding routine outdoors.
The seed is a practical choice for feeding seed-loving wild birds, especially finches, from a suitable wild bird feeder.
