Default bird feeding

Hello,

We put some seeds out for the birds. I don't know whether this is a
good idea or not. On one hand, hopefully if they eat the seed, they
won't eat my plants! On the other hand, it might draw more birds to
the garden to eat my berries! What do you think?

Anyway, they've eaten two feeders full of seeds already. So my
question is, where can I buy seed in bulk and cheap?

Thanks.


Talk to the owners/managers of a local pet shops. They often re-bag after
buying in bulk.
I buy mine in 20/25kg bags, peanuts & seed. Check the quality first as
rubbish is always rubbish despite the packaging.
Good luck
Ray

I buy a sackfull from a local pet shop, they said they'd order an extra sack
for me, which I pick up after they've added an extra fiver to the actual
price they pay for it. It saved me a few bob, I used to buy the small bags
they made up before.

I have 6 feeders and I've got just under a quarter of the sack left, and
that's 12 months ago.
