From pigeons to goldfinches

Hi, I'm Clare, founder of A Little Bird Co. I’ve always fed the birds, but at first, it was just routine - fill the feeder, go to work, come home to find it empty. While home on maternity leave, I realised that I was only feeding pigeons - and they were so well fed, they could barely walk! I wanted to bring more diversity into our garden, so I did a lot of research and started experimenting with different foods. Birdwatching became part of my day. My newborn was unpredictable, but the birds weren’t. I’d top up the feeders, make a cup of tea and watch them as I cuddled my little girl.

One morning when my older daughter was two, and my younger daughter was six months, I spotted a goldfinch for the first time. Knowing I’d encouraged him in felt like a real accomplishment. From a sea of pigeons to this tiny, beatuful bird bursting with character - I’d achieved something.

A little business with a big heart

I sent my bird food to friends and family to try and it was as successful in their gardens as it had been in ours. I started A Little Bird Co. and launched my website in January 2022. Frustrated by other brands using cheap fillers like wheat, grass seed, and even dog biscuits - packaged in plastic - I wanted to do better. By using only foods small birds love and compostable packaging, I knew I could make a difference. Growth has been slow and organic, but every order and kind message from my customers means the world. Now, I ship across the British Isles, and it makes me so happy to know that my food is helping songbirds thrive nationwide.

Looking ahead

I love connecting with fellow bird enthusiasts at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show every year. So far in 2025, I have been excited to launch a bird watching journal and a nature spotting activity to inspire the next generation of birders. As my small business grows, I'm committed to keeping things personal and focused on you - my customers and your garden birds. I'm excited for new opportunities, innovative products, and welcoming new faces in the years to come!

We do things differently

At A Little Bird Co., we care about you and your garden birds. We believe that spending time in nature does wonders for your mental wellbeing, and we’re here to help make those moments even more special. Whether it’s the calm of watching a busy feeder or the excitement of spotting a new species, we’re with you every step of the way.

Seasonal

Research has shown that birds have different dietary needs throughout the year – whether they’re pairing up, nesting, breeding, raising their young, moulting, or simply weathering the colder months. To support these natural changes, we’ve developed a range of blends – with extra suet and mealworms in winter and added calcium in early spring. And all you need to do is order a Seasonal Bird Food bag. We’ll adjust the blend to suit the season. It’s effortless, leaving you with the knowledge that you’re doing something truly good for the little birds. Learn more about our four seasonal blends here.

Sustainable

We don’t just nod to sustainability – it’s woven into every choice we make. We refuse to support the farming, processing and transporting of ingredients that little birds won’t eat – only for them to end up sprouting on the ground beneath your feeder. Instead, we focus solely on premium ingredients that the birds truly love. We use only paper, cardboard and compostable packaging and tapes – everything can be easily tossed in your home compost bin (or recycled) when you’re done. Every feeder and nestbox we sell is carefully sourced and rigorously tested to ensure it stands the test of time. Our mindful subscription model means we stock only what we need, reducing waste, and our product range is deliberately curated to reflect our commitment to both the birds and the planet.

Songbird

Have you ever put out bird food for the little birds, only to find bigger animals like pigeons, squirrels, crows, starlings and parakeets swoop in and eat it all before they get a chance. Smaller birds can be scared away by larger animals, and while we want to support all wildlife in our gardens, whether big, small, furry or feathered, it’s important that there’s a space where the little birds can eat in peace. That’s why we stock a range of bird feeding solutions, from our premium caged feeder, to barrier feeder defenders, to weight activated solutions, with each one carefully tested for effectiveness and durability. Enjoy watching the birds visit a space where they can feed safe.

Support

When you have birds in your garden, you never really feel alone – they’re the friends who always visit. Feeding songbirds supports wildlife conservation, and watching them can boost your own mental wellbeing. Whether it’s the excitement of spotting a new species or the calm of observing their comings and goings, just ten minutes a day deepens your connection with nature and benefits your mental health.

  • Feeding more birds than ever!

    Lovely, obviously nutritious, Seasonal Mix that the birds can't get enough of! I'm so delighted that it has attracted Greenfinches, Chaffinches and Goldfinches too!

  • Fantastic!

    We had an experiment for 4 days. I put your bird food out and another brand. The birds tried them both but decided on yours. The next day all your food had gone and the other bird food was full.

  • "Much more convenient"

    We have subscribed to the seasonal bag for the last couple of months. Our garden birdlife is very content with the food! It's been much more convenient for us than travelling to our local pet shop, and probably a similar price, plus plastic free! (And the used bags are great for sending parcels!). Thanks guys! 💙

  • "Great bird food"

    Have been using the seasonal subscription for a few years now and it's fab. Our garden birds love it and it attracts birds I'd not seen before here (brambling, siskins, jays). Well worth the money!

  • "It all gets eaten"

    Clare’s mix is made of quality ingredients (not just grit and dust!) and has attracted new visitors to my feeders. The recipe changes with each season, providing not only variety but the nutrition required at that time. It’s so good that there’s negligible waste, it all gets eaten - and if any is left behind on the ground its no-grow formula means it’s not a problem.

  • "Good quality"

    I love getting this bird food, the birds flock to my garden and I know it is good quality compared to other cheap brands that birds leave behind. Also love that it comes in paper packaging so I don't have to feel guilty when I finish a bag.

  • "Superb bird food"

    Really pleased to have discovered A Little Bird Co - you can see the thought that's gone into all everything from the plastic-free packaging to the superior quality that our robins, blackbirds, dunnocks (and yes squirrels) hoover up gratefully.
    Excellent customer service.

    I love that I can buy this bird food without adding more plastic to the world. The blend is tailored to the birds changing needs throughout the year and they seem to love it.

    You can tell so much effort goes into these seed mixes and the birds love it. The subscription service is so easy and I love that all the packaging is compostable.

  • "Happy birdies"

    We bought a bag of seed a couple of weeks ago and am seriously impressed. We’re having to fill up feeders every couple of days as the food is being scoffed so readily. And most days birds are on our table before I can even get back inside. The compostable packaging is also really well thought out. Will have to sign up to a subscription.

  • "Happy days"

    I’ve always enjoyed feeding the birds in the garden and since switching to A Little Bird Co mix I’m getting more and varied visitors every week. Claire is lovely to order with and I look forward to my monthly subscription arriving and reading the newsletter for tips and information. It really made my day to see Mr & Mrs Bullfinch enjoying brunch together the other day.

    We have subscribed to the bird feed and the little birds are actually lining up to get dine out on this 5* cuisine!

  • "A food for all seasons"

    Have been more than pleased with both orders placed. Birds are emptying the contents of feeder faster than I can keep up with partly due to antics of a Woodpigeon who has worked out a way of shaking the contents to the ground. Obviously determined to get his share of an excellent product. Excellent service and good content. I shall continue to buy throughout the seasons.
