Bird Food
Different types of bird food attract different types of garden birds.
- Birds love natural foods like flowers, trees, shrubs and insects. Birds will be attracted to a wild-grown garden. If you design your garden, make sure it's bird-friendly. Plant trees, shrubs and bird-friendly flowers attract more garden birds. Trees and shrubs are perfect as a hiding place for predators, a shelter during the night or a restaurant when they grow berries. Think of a natural balance between natural foods and supplemental bird food.
- Supplemental bird food helps garden birds to keep your birds fed throughout the year. Garden birds love an extra snack at any time of the year. Whether it's spring, summer, fall or winter, garden birds need food to feed themselves and their young.
Here's a small list of supplemental food we offer at our garden centres:
- Sunflower seeds
- Millet
- Peanut
- Suet
- Mealworms
- Safflower seeds
- Mixed birdseed
- Peanut butter
Bird Feeders and Feeding Stations
If you want to provide garden birds with food, you can't just hold up your hand all day. Thompson's stocks a wide range of bird feeders and feeding stations suitable to offer different types of food. Bird feeders come in various models, like seed feeders, peanut feeders, fat ball & suet feeders, ground feeders, window feeders and many more. Please ask our staff at the garden centre to help you choose a suitable bird feeder. Feeding stations are extended bird feeders to serve more food simultaneously.
Nesting boxes
When the breed season starts, birds are looking for an ideal place to nest. A protected nesting box makes the perfect place to shelter, overwinter and hide from predators. You can choose from different nesting boxes varying in material, shape, purpose and colour. We stock both open front nest boxes, unique for Robins, as bird nesting boxes with a round entrance hole in the front suitable for great tits and blue tits. Ask our helpful staff at the garden centre or give us a call if you want some advice.
