The energy-rich mixed feed, poured into a natural coconut shell, offers a nutritious and environmentally friendly option for supporting forest and garden birds during winter. This approximately 350-gram treat consists of a balanced blend containing grains, sunflower seeds, nuts, and valuable oils and fats. This combination provides small birds with the necessary caloric intake during short winter days to maintain vital body heat.
The product is safe for birds’ health and entirely natural – the feed contains no added sugar, artificial colorings, or preservatives. Three separate access openings are milled into the coconut shell, making food retrieval convenient and often allowing multiple birds to feed simultaneously. Upon consumption, no plastic waste remains in nature, as only the natural coconut shell and hanging rope are left. (Note: As this is a natural material, the net weight of each product may vary slightly).
Usage and Cultivation Instructions:
-
Carefully remove all plastic film from around the product.
-
Securely hang the coconut shell from a tree branch, hook, or feeder house using the attached sturdy coir rope.
-
Install the treat at a safe height (at least 1.5–2 meters from the ground) where domestic cats or other predators cannot reach it.IMPORTANT! Supplementary winter feeding is vital for small garden and forest birds. If you have commenced feeding, ensure to continue until spring, as birds accustomed to supplementary feeding may perish if food becomes unavailable.
Tips and Recommendations:
-
Preferably hang the treat in a location sheltered from wind and direct precipitation (e.g., under a broad conifer branch or beneath a roof eave), to prevent the fat blend from becoming rancid due to excessive moisture.
-
Ensure that dense bushes are located in the immediate vicinity of the feeding site (within a few meters). This provides a safe hiding place for small birds should a sparrowhawk or other threat enter the garden.
