Which birds will I support?

Using a higher quality food blend attracts a much wider variety of birds. Cheaper mixes often also result in some birds kicking away seeds they don’t like, which then sprout as weeds on the ground. With our premium food, you can expect to see a mix of visitors – such as, blue tits, house sparrows, goldfinches, great spotted woodpeckers, chaffinches, dunnocks, robins, bullfinches, coal tits, wrens, nuthatches, thrushes, greenfinches, blackbirds, great tits, long tailed tits and hawfinches.

Why customers choose us

"A special find. Thoughtful, flexible, and food that really works.  Regular tips and info come with deliveries and via email, and it's not just the food which is great. The products like the feeders are quality and purposeful, whilst the owner genuinely cares about the birds, customers and the products sold."
— Sarah W., verified customer

We asked our customers why they choose to fill their bird feeders with bird food from A Little Bird Co., and the answers were clear. They love the quality and freshness of the seed, the seasonal blends that give birds exactly what they need year-round, and the ease of our subscription deliveries. Many told us they’re seeing more species in their gardens, cleaner feeders with less waste, and they value how quick and simple it is to order, with food arriving fast. 

Composition

I use ingredients from the list below, adjusting the quantities and chosen ingredients depending on the time of year, handling allergens listed in bold: Sunflower Hearts, Chopped Peanuts, Suet Pellets, Mealworms, Hemp Seed, Pinhead Oats, Oyster Shell Grit.

A note on the RSPB guidance

You may have seen the headlines. The RSPB have concerns about disease transmission at feeders, particularly on flat surfaces and in water baths, and particularly affecting greenfinches and chaffinches. The guidance to pause seeds and peanuts between May and October is a precautionary measure, but the data shows that how you feed matters more than whether you feed. Clean feeders, no base trays, a scrubbed bird bath, and food put out in quantities your birds will finish in a day or two makes a real difference.

We've looked carefully at the research, and we're not removing seeds or peanuts from our range. We do think hygiene deserves more attention than it usually gets, and we've written about all of it honestly on the blog.

Lovely mix for our feathered friends

This is a really top quality mix for garden birds. Ours love their fat balls but they have been keen to scoop up this fabulous food mix. Our Robin, Buster, pinches all the mealworms from it! A pair of Jays have started to visit now as well. I put some in a feeder and some for the ground dwellers like dunnocks, robins and our pigeon Peter. They love it.

Garden birdwatch supplies

Fantastic product, exactly as described without any unwanted fillers. Great mix of suet and seeds. Feeders emptied quickly with no leftover waste. Product double layer packaged for transit. Lovely little thank you card inside.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a lovely review. Really happy to hear that you found our product to be exactly as described and free of any unwanted fillers. I hope you enjoyed watching the birds and saw plenty during the RSPB Birdwatch weekend!

Great birdfeefer, little birds flock, parakeets nowhere to be seen!

I wanted a feeder that could feed the smaller birds in the garden without the parakeets & magpies joining the flock. This has achieved just that!

I'm so pleased to hear! Thank you so much for the lovely review!

The birds love it!

I have been using the seasonal bird food subscription bags for nearly a year now and I can honestly say that the birds love it! I have a feeder in my front cottage garden and one in the back by the patio windows and doors and they are both always full of a variety of birds. I regularly see great tits, blue tits, sparrows, a nuthatch, pair of robins, many goldfinch and greenfinch, a wren, a thrush and long tailed tits. This year there were lots of happy fledglings. I never saw this variety before using the mix and the tree the feeder hangs in is always full of a variety of birds waiting to take their turn on the feeder, delightful to watch. Minimal waste on the floor / surrounding as the birds love everything in it (unlike other cheaper mixes where the birds throw bits on the floor to eat the good bits!) and very easy for me as arrives like clockwork in the post. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! I'm so happy to hdar that the birds are enjoying the mix, and that you're seeing some new species too! I'm especially happy to hear that you're not seeing waste, and that the subscription simplifies things for you. Thank you, and happy bird watching!

Excellent, high quality, considered bird feed

High quality feed that the birds love! I love the consideration that goes into the blends and how these change with the seasons. A Little Bird Co really do care about what they do and this shows with their products

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm so grateful for your kind words, and I'm happy to hear that the birds love the food - that's made my day!

Brings all the birds to the yard!

I really saw a difference from using a supermarket own brfand food to swopping to A Little Bird Company. As soon as I put out the Little Bird Company food, the variety of birds increased massively.
Previously mainly sparrows - which are lovely of course - we now also have blue tits, great tits, robins and a tree creeper.
can watch for hours!

That's such brilliant news! I would love to see a tree creeper! I'm really pleased that you're able to attract more of the little birds to the garden and that you're enjoying watching them :) Thank you for the lovely review!

The Best Birdfood Mix

over the years I have tried many different mixes in my birdfeeders. The Little Bird Co mix has been so popular that, this winter, I had to switch from monthly to fortnightly deliveries. My large feeder is pretty much emptied every day and the robins, blackbirds and wood pigeond clear up any food that drops on the ground, so no mess!

Thank you so much for your kind review. I'm really happy to hear that my seasonal bird food has been a hit with your garden birds, and I'm so happy to hear that the fortnightly deliveries have kept them well fed :)

Feeding more birds than ever here in South Wales!

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! I put it out on my 3 seed-catcher platforms they and others can land on easily. I also put some in a normal feeder for the birds that prefer it like that. All scoffed in no time flat!

Thank you that it is all plastic-free too! There is a real problem disposing of any plastic here in Wales.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review! I am happy to hear that our Seasonal Bird Food has attracted a variety of birds to your garden in South Wales. Thank you for your support and for helping us make a positive impact on the environment.

Amazing service

We have used a Little Bird Company a few times and they never disappoint, as the website is easy to use and the delivery service is speedy. Also the birds love the seed.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear you find the website easy to use and the birds enjoy the seed!

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.

What a lovely review! Thank you so much, you’ve made my day! Glad to hear you have new visitors coming to see you.

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 and our 12.5kg subscription will keep the local population delighted for some time.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm so pleased that you and your local birds and squirrels are enjoying the food! What a great photo too!

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 I think and would definitely recommend.

What a lovely review! Thank you so much, that’s exactly the reaction I love to hear about from the birds You’ve made my week!

Brilliant Bird Food!

Thank you Clare for producing such high-quality bird food! It attracts such a wide range of fabulous birds to my garden and it has brought me so much joy to watch them 😊. I have just upped my monthly subscription, as they can't seem to get enough of it!

What a lovely review, and such gorgeous photos! Thank you so much, I’m so happy to hear that my food is making a difference in your garden.

A little care goes a long way

The RSPB guidance has prompted a lot of questions, and the honest answer is that hygiene has always mattered - it just hasn't always talked been about loudly enough. These three habits are simple, take minutes each week, and make a genuine difference to the birds in your garden.

  • Start with the right feeder and food

    Hanging feeders with no base tray attached are your safest option. Avoid flat surfaces like bird tables for seed in summer. Look for feeders with ports and mesh you can fully dismantle for cleaning - if you can't take it apart, you can't clean it properly. Use a waste free food too. If birds peck through filler grains, they linger longer at the feeder, and that helps disease spread.

  • Hands holding A Little Bird Co. bird food

    Feed little, but feed often

    Put out only what your birds will finish within a day or two, and adjust the amount as demand changes through the season. Food that sits and accumulates - especially in warm, damp conditions - is exactly the environment disease needs to take hold. Keeping a close eye on what's being eaten also means you'll notice quickly if something's wrong with the birds visiting your garden.

  • Clean and reposition weekly

    Take feeders apart, scrub with a mild disinfectant solution, rinse thoroughly and let them dry before refilling. Then move them to a different spot in the garden. This stops contaminated debris building up on the ground below, which is just as important as cleaning the feeder itself. A regular routine makes this easier - pick the same day each week and it quickly becomes second nature.

Three ways to get started

Do you enjoy the simplicity of having your bird food arrive without having to lift a finger via an ongoing subscription, or would you prefer to order as and when you need to? We have you covered, whichever your preference.

Subscribe

Keep your bird feeders topped up all year to support the little birds. Our subscription makes it easy to feed them exactly what they need, without the hassle of remembering to order more or lugging heavy bags from the garden centre. Choose a delivery schedule that suits you – every fortnight, every month or every other month – and pause, skip, switch or cancel at any time. Use the code below for free shipping on your first three bird food subscription orders.

Hand blended bird food

Order On Demand

Prefer to order food only when you need it? No problem. You can purchase a one-off bag of food whenever it suits you. Each delivery comes with a blend tailored to the birds’ needs at that time of year. And, as always, we’ll send you a free trial bag – just cover the postage.

Pay Upfront

Do you prefer to pay upfront? We make it easy. Set up a three, six or twelve month subscription and eliminate the hassle of remembering to reorder. We’ll send out your delivery once a month for the duration of your prepaid subscription, but you can skip an order if you're away - just log in to your account to make the change, or send us an email or WhatsApp message.

We offer a discount to subscribers who prepay for their food in advance (6 or 12 month prepaid orders only). The discount will be automatically applied.

The bird food designed for little birds

Little birds need love too! When our founder, Clare, began feeding her garden birds, she noticed that while larger birds like pigeons and jackdaws were thriving, the smaller ones were all but missing. After years of research and testing, she devised a blend carefully adjusted throughout the year to meet the little birds’ needs. Today, her garden flourishes with flocks of robins, blue tits, finches and woodpeckers - and our food is sent out all over the British Isles. Learn more about what sets our food apart.

Kind words from our happy customers

  • "They love it!"

    I thought it would take a while for the birds to find the feeder, but it only took a day. Since then there are up to about 6 or 8 sparrows, tits and robins that are a joy to watch flying in and out, squabbling and enjoying the foid!

  • "The best birdseed I've ever bought!"

    Great bird food! The birds love it and it doesn’t contain fillers like wheat that the birds don’t eat and just sprout in your garden. I love that it comes in paper packaging with no plastic used either. Fantastic product! Thank you!


    Claire
  • "Best food for the birds!"

    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!

On the menu this month

Order a bag of our Seasonal Bird Food Blend and we’ll deliver the perfect mix for your garden birds each month. Learn more about our four seasonal blends below.

The Fall into Winter Blend

When the weather turns cold and food is scarce, our winter blend comes to the rescue. It’s a robust mix of sunflower hearts, suet pellets, chopped peanuts, dried mealworms, hemp seed, and pinhead oats to keep birds fed through frosty days.

The Nesting Blend

Early spring is one of my favourite times in the garden. After the calm of winter, everything starts to feel busy and full of life. Garden birds are pairing up and getting ready to raise their first broods, which means they need an extra boost of calcium for strong egg production. They also need foods that are quick and easy to grab from the feeder, helping them stay well fed while they look after their newly hatched chicks.

This mix includes sunflower hearts, chopped peanuts, suet pellets, dried mealworms, and oyster shell grit — perfect for supporting them through this hectic season.

The New Families Blend

In late spring and early summer, adult birds are busily feeding their fledglings. This blend skips dried mealworms to avoid dehydration for young chicks, and features sunflower hearts, chopped peanuts, suet pellets, pinhead oats, and oil‐rich hemp seed for an extra boost.

The Fledglings and Feathers Blend

In late summer, young birds leave the nest and adults moult their feathers, leaving them vulnerable to attack and hindering their flight. Although they may be less visible in your garden when they’re not in their feathered finest, they need our support more than ever, which is why our mix features sunflower hearts, chopped peanuts, oil-rich hemp seed for glossy feather regeneration, and a touch of suet pellets for extra energy.

How long does the bird food last?

Our bird food has a shelf life of one year if left unopened. When opened, reseal and use within 60 days. If you're new to feeding the birds or filling the feeders every few days, the 1.75KG bag will last one month. If you fill the feeder more regularly, go for 4.5KG or 6KG. If you have a busy, established garden or multiple feeders to fill, choose the 12.75KG bag.

Can I pause or cancel my subscription?

Yes! You can pause or cancel anytime by logging into your account. If you’re going away or don’t need as much food for a while, you can also skip a delivery instead of cancelling completely.

We don’t tie you into contracts – our subscriptions are flexible, so you can adjust them whenever you need to!

How much bird food do I need?

It depends on how many birds visit your garden, and how established your bird feeders are. Here’s a rough guide:

  • Little Beaks (1.75kg): Enough for a beginner feeder – top up with a handful every three days for a month.
  • Hungry Beaks (4.5kg): Perfect for established feeders – top up with a handful each day for a month.
  • Feed the Flock (12.75kg): Ideal for a busy garden – fill your feeder every other day for a month.

If you're on a subscription, you can adjust the quantity anytime via your portal, or just email, call or WhatsApp us – we’re happy to help!

Can I try before I buy?

Yes! We really believe our food will make a difference for your garden birds, which is why we offer a free trial – you just cover the postage.

Which feeder can I use with this food?

Our Seasonal Bird Food Bag works well in seed feeders, ground feeders, or bird tables. If you want to deter larger birds like starlings while still feeding smaller garden birds, try our Starling Resistant Feeder Guardian Set.

Will this food attract specific birds?

Yes! This mix attracts a wide range of birds, including:

  • Small songbirds like robins, blue tits, great tits, and finches
  • Woodpeckers, nuthatches, and wrens
  • Dunnocks, sparrows, and blackbirds

Many of our customers tell us that when they put this food next to straight seeds or a different blend, ours is eaten first!

How can I send a subscription to someone else as a gift?

Our prepaid bird food gift subscriptions make a brilliant, sustainable gift! Simply use the link below to go to the dedicated page and choose the 3, 6, or 12-month option on our website. We’ll deliver a seasonal bag of bird food each month to your chosen recipient.

There’s no need for them to manage a subscription or worry about payments – it’s all sorted in advance. If you'd like to add a personalised message, just let us know in the Notes section at checkout!

Is this food safe for fledglings and baby birds?

Absolutely! Our food is designed to support the visitors as they come in throughout the year., We never use dried mealworms in spring and summer, as they can dehydrate chicks. We use only chopped peanuts, which are safe for little beaks. The entire blend is designed to be quick for birds to take, so they spend less time at the feeder and more time in the safety of the trees.

How is this bird food sustainable?

We refuse to pay to farm foods that birds won’t eat, which means no waste, no garden weeds, and no unnecessary environmental impact. Our packaging is fully recyclable, using recycled paper, cardboard, and paper tape– because sustainability should be simple!
