Spending time outdoors is one of the best gifts we can give children, and feeding the birds with a dedicated bird feeder set for children is a simple way to spark their curiosity and connection with nature. The Little Birders Set is the perfect kids bird feeder kit, designed to make it easy for children to start noticing the world around them — learning to recognise birds at the feeder, and even to spot plants and wildlife beyond the garden.
Inside, you’ll find a lightweight feeder made for smaller hands, our most popular no-grow seed blend chosen to attract robins, blue tits and sparrows, and a copy of Little Moments Outdoors, our nature spotting book for kids filled with fun facts and things to look out for on walks and in the garden.
A bird feeder and a supply of nutritious food is also a brilliant way to teach responsibility and empathy from a young age. As children get used to filling the feeder and watching who arrives, they’ll begin to notice seasonal changes and patterns in nature. And once they’ve started, keeping the feeder topped up is simple with our seasonal subscription blends - making it a joy that lasts far beyond the first bag of seed.
The Little Birders Set is practical, thoughtful, and designed to last - a lovely way to encourage more time outdoors and to raise eco-conscious children who grow up knowing their birds, their plants, and the world just outside their window. The set arrives beautifully packaged and ready to give, with the option to add a handwritten greetings card free of charge to make it feel even more personal.
