Sustainable Gifting: All about our prepaid bird food gift subscription

Setting up a prepaid bird food gift subscription was one of the first things I did when I started A Little Bird Co., and it has proven really popular. So many people are looking for sustainable gifting options, and for gifts for a bird lover or a wildlife enthusiast. It shows that you care about your recipient's values, and they get to enjoy watching the birds, who in turn benefit from a regular supply of good quality, seasonal food.

What’s Included

Your recipient will receive premium bird food in their choice of 1.75kg, 4.5kg, or 12.75kg sizes. You can pick from three, six, or twelve monthly deliveries, tailored to attract a variety of birds. Each delivery also includes our Monthly Titbits booklet, filled with a bird feature, gardening advice, and wildlife watching tips to enhance their experience.

Personalised Gifting Made Simple

We’ve made it easy to add a personal touch. During checkout, leave a message in the Notes section, and we’ll handwrite it on a postcard included in the first delivery. Want to upgrade? For a small extra cost, we’ll write your message in a gorgeous bird-themed greetings card.

Timing is everything—if you’d like the first delivery to coincide with a birthday, Christmas, or another special occasion, just include your preferred date in the Notes section or email us at info@alittlebirdcompany.co.uk.

Convenient Delivery Options

You can have the deliveries sent directly to your recipient’s address, or, if you’d prefer, to your own so you can present the gift in person. Either way, we’ll ensure the process is seamless from start to finish. Some customers also prefer to have the first delivery sent to them to give on the day, and subsequent deliveries sent directly - that's no problem at all, just let me know in the Order Notes.

Why It’s a Gift They’ll Love

A bird food subscription is more than just a practical gift—it’s a joyful experience. Each month, they’ll be reminded of your thoughtfulness as they watch birds visit the feeder. The sustainable, high-quality food ensures their garden birds will be well-fed, and the added Monthly Titbits booklet will keep them inspired and informed.

How to Get Started

Setting it up is simple. Choose the size and number of deliveries, personalise the gift with a message, and let us know where and when to send it, making any notes in the Order Notes section at checkout. We’ll take care of the rest.

Give the Gift of Nature

There’s nothing quite like the sound of birdsong and the sight of a flock of blue tits visiting the garden. With our Prepaid Bird Food Subscription, you’re giving more than just bird food—you’re gifting moments of joy, peace, and connection to the natural world.

Order your subscription today and let the birds do the rest!

The seasonal bird food brand

We're a little company, supporting little birds. Find out more about what sets us apart.

  • Seasonal

    Birds have different dietary needs throughout the year, from nesting to moulting and surviving colder months. To support these changes, we’ve created seasonal blends – order a Seasonal Bird Food bag, and we’ll adjust the blend to match the season, making it easy to do something great for the birds.

  • Sustainable

    Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We don't farm, process, and transport cheap filler ingredients that birds simply kick to the floor. Instead, we focus on premium ingredients they love. Our packaging is compostable, and our bird feeders and nest boxes are tested for durability and longevity.

  • Songbird

    We design our food and select our range of feeders with little birds in mind. Every ingredient in our blends is chosen because small birds love it, simplifying your bird feeding routine. Our feeders provide safe access to food while helping to keep out larger, more dominant species. Look out for robins, blue tits, wrens, finches and more visiting your garden for our food.

  • Support

    With birds in your garden, you’re never alone - they’re the friends who always visit. Feeding them supports wildlife conservation while bringing joy and calm. Whether spotting a new species or simply watching their daily routines, just ten minutes a day strengthens your connection with nature and boosts your wellbeing.

When life feels busy, the birds keep it simple.

There’s something lovely about how feeding the birds becomes part of the rhythm of your day. A scoop of seed, a clean dish of water - and then a pause, just to watch who turns up. It doesn’t have to take long, but those moments can be surprisingly grounding. A little burst of mindfulness, fresh air, a chance to notice your garden as it changes throughout the seasons, and the cheerful flutter of wings - it’s good for the soul.

Join our flock of bird enthusiasts who share a passion for sustainable and thoughtful bird feeding.
