The Flamingo Wild Bird Food Seed Mixture is a mixed seed blend for wild and garden birds, sold in 1 kg and 2.5 kg, suitable for a hanging feeder, a bird table or scattering on the ground.
Key Features
- A general seed mixture rather than a single-species feed, so it draws a range of garden birds rather than just one
- Works in a seed feeder, on a bird table or scattered on a clean hard surface
- Two pack sizes: 1 kg for occasional feeding, 2.5 kg if you are feeding daily
- Made by Flamingo Pet Products, a Belgian pet supplier based in Olen with more than 45 years in the trade
Feeding Wild Birds
- Put out only what gets eaten in a day or two. Seed left standing goes mouldy, and mouldy seed makes birds ill
- Move the feeding spot every few weeks so droppings and husks do not build up in one place
- Clean feeders and tables regularly with hot water, and wash your hands afterwards
- Put fresh water out alongside. In UAE summer that matters more to birds than the food does
- Site the feeder within a few metres of cover, so birds have somewhere to bolt to, but not so close that cats can use it as an ambush point
- Store the bag sealed, cool and dry. Seed attracts pantry moths and weevils once it is opened
Good To Know
- This is a general wild bird mixture. It is not a formulated diet for a pet budgie, cockatiel or parrot, which need their own species feed
- Mixed seed means some of it will be picked out and dropped. A cheaper mix always produces more waste underneath
- Feeding wild birds attracts other things too, including rodents and cats. Keep spillage cleared up
- The two pack sizes here share one SKU, and the 1 kg and 2.5 kg bags carry different packaging designs, so what arrives may not match the first photo
