So my question is, where can I buy seed in bulk and cheap? The Lincolnshire wildlife trust have a good range: http://www.lincstrust.org.uk/shop/birdfood/index.php Most agricultural feed vendors will sell by the sack http://www.cwg.co.uk/ 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.: http://www.lincstrust.org.uk/factshe...wild-birds.php or (risking the wrath of extremists): http://www.rspb.org.uk/gardens/whaty...irds/index.asp 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: http://www.food.gov.uk/Consultations...nwildbirdfoods |
