Live Mealworms
For robins, blackbirds, tits and other insect-eating visitors
Fresh, wriggling food, packed here on our farm. Live mealworms provide protein and natural moisture, and are especially useful when parent birds are feeding chicks.
Start with a small amount and watch who comes to investigate. The robin may get there before you’ve finished putting them out.
Use with: The I Love Robins Pearl Feeder, or a shallow feeding dish. Keep it clean and offer only what the birds will eat promptly.
The Field Club — Birdseed, by the Field
For knowing exactly where your birdseed comes from
Birdseed from one named field on our Herefordshire farm: the Flat Square. It isn’t flat. It isn’t square. But it grows five crops for birds.
We grow, harvest, clean, mix and bag the seed here ourselves. Before it reaches your garden, the growing field is already providing food and habitat for wildlife on the farm.
Use with: A hanging seed feeder such as The One Seed Feeder.
Which food is right for my garden?
Which food for which bird?
Blue Tit
Enjoys insect food, sunflower hearts and suet. Suitable hanging feeders help them feed safely.
Great Tit
A keen visitor to hanging feeders. Offer suitable seed, suet and peanuts in a mesh feeder that allows small pieces to be taken safely.
House Sparrow
Likes small seeds and grains, with insects especially important when raising chicks. Try a suitable seed feeder or covered feeder.
Chaffinch
Enjoys seeds and often feeds on the ground beneath feeders. Help by providing clean feeding areas and natural seed-bearing plants.
Goldfinch
Particularly fond of small seeds. Niger feeders and sunflower hearts are excellent choices, while teasels and thistles provide natural seed food.
Starling
Eats insects and other invertebrates naturally, and readily takes suet and suitable insect foods. Berries and fruit can also help.
Blackbird
A natural ground feeder that enjoys worms and insects, plus berries and fruit. Offer mealworms or suet pellets in a clean, sheltered feeding spot.
Song Thrush
Naturally eats worms, snails and other invertebrates. Mealworms and soft fruit may be accepted, but a garden rich in leaf litter and invertebrates is particularly valuable.
Wren
Primarily eats tiny insects and spiders. Offer small amounts of mealworms in a sheltered spot and encourage natural insects with dense planting and leaf litter.
Great Spotted Woodpecker
Naturally searches trees for insects and larvae. Suet products and peanuts in appropriate feeders can attract it to gardens.
Long Tailed Tit
Mainly eats tiny insects and spiders. May visit for soft suet foods, particularly in colder weather. Dense shrubs help provide natural insect food and shelter.
Chiffchaff
Feeds on small insects and spiders among leaves and branches. Encourage a wildlife-friendly garden rather than relying on bird feeders.
Greenfinch
Enjoys seeds, particularly sunflower hearts and niger. Greenfinches are vulnerable to trichomonosis, so follow seasonal feeding advice and maintain excellent hygiene.
Nuthatch
Likes seeds and nuts, and will readily use hanging feeders. Offer peanuts only in a suitable mesh feeder, never loose whole nuts.
Dunnock
Feeds on insects and other small invertebrates, as well as seeds. Offer small seeds during the appropriate season and a little mealworm in a sheltered ground-feeding spot.
