So my
question is, where can I buy seed in bulk and cheap?

The Lincolnshire wildlife trust have a good range:

Most agricultural feed vendors will sell by the sack

http://www.wellandvalleyfeeds.co.uk/...ucts/feeds.htm
www.thecountrystore.co.uk

or the pet trade
www.petfoodsupplies.net etc etc etc

In the past it was considered bad practice to feed during the summer
months, but we now do because of the pressures on wild birds by extreme
agriculture and the spread of housing. Remember to put out water, too.
Some good advice at e.g.:

or (risking the wrath of extremists):

It is important to buy from reputable suppliers. Some stuff sold on
markets, or even in the pet trade, is reported to contain fungicides or
other chemicals that can accumulate in the bird populations. There is
concern too about naturally occuring contamination:

That's what I like.
A good honest plug for the local corner shop. :-))
That is precisely where I get my seed from.
