Bird Care

 

With the Winter season drawing in fast, and temperatures already beginning to drop, feeding the birds is becoming more important.

 

With the natural food supplies dropping, here at Newbridge Nurseries, we have a wide choice of feeds and feeders to suit all gardens.

 

 

Peanuts and Seeds

 

We stock peanuts and seeds, along with speciality mixes for different bird species. We stock a range of bag sizes for people who wish to stock up.

 

Birds need to keep their energy levels up in Winter in order to survive. We stock a large selection of high energy feeds, perfect for maintaining birds energy levels. In our range, we have fat balls, suet treats and suet feast, along with the various feeders needed.

 

 

Fat Snax Suet Balls

 

In our high energy range we have some excellent deals, giving you a lot of food at great value for money.

 

We stock a tub of 50 suet ball Fat Snax, which can be bought netted or un-netted depending on how you wish to put them out in your garden.

 

A tub of 50 is ONLY £9.99.

 

 

Coconut Shells

 

One of the more traditional food items are our coconut shells fill with suet and seed.

 

Hung from a tree or feed station, these are an instant hit with birds.

 

Pack of 10 ONLY £13.99

 

 

 

 

 

Suet Cakes

 

Many people often buy single suet cakes. Packed with various fillings from seed and insect to berry, these are always a firm favourite with our avian friends.

 

Now in stock, we sell a value pack of 10 of these suet cakes in assorted flavours. Individually, these cakes cost £2.29.

 

Our value pack costs ONLY £9.99, offering HUGE SAVING OF £12.91 if these were bought individually.

 

 

Peckish Winter Warmer

 

New to our bird care range is Peckish. You may have already seen on TV the new advert promoting their two new products Winter Warmer Seed Mix and the 5-In-1 Bird Food.

 

Enriched with Calvita, an essential nutrient complex, it provides birds with all the energy they require.

 

The bags start at £4.99 for a 2 Kg bag, and with each bag, you get a easy pour spout to fill up your feeders which means very little spillage.

 

 

Large Sacks of Bird Feed

 

For the more popular feeds, we stock larger sacks so that you can be always sure you have some available to top up your feeders.

 

To store these sacks, and to prevent any unwanted animals getting at the feed, we stock storage bins with heavy duty lids.

 

 

 

 

Large Sacks of Bird Feed

 

One of our popular ranges in our bird care area are mealworms. Sprinkled on a feeding table, these make an appealing snack for visiting birds. They can also be rehydrated with water, to make them appear life like. Being rehydrated also provides the birds with water, a vital part of their diet, and since during winter water becomes harder to find, this is an ideal way to give it to the birds.

 

We still stock our Nuttery range of Squirrel Proof bird feeders. The company recently featured on the BBC’s Dragon’s Den, demonstrating their products and how they work. The feeders are high quality, and being squirrel proof, you can be sure that the hungry birds get all the food they can get.

 

In our bird care department we stock bird baths. Water is still an essential part of a bird’s diet through out Winter. If your bird table is filled up with water check, it after a cold night or frosty night to make sure the water hasn’t frozen. Some people recommend placing a ping pong ball in the bath, so that with the wind blowing, the ball moves around, preventing the water from freezing.

 

For people who have visited our garden centre recently, you may have noticed we have a visitor. Often heard singing and seen flying around and sitting on signs, we have our very own resident robin called Geoffrey. He is extremely tame, having been born on our premises earlier this year, and customers do not worry him. Giving an entertaining show of singing, he brings smiles to many.
