The premium, high quality wild bird fat balls sold on the website are a mixture of fat, peanut flour, mixed seed or insects, that are high in energy, popular with a wide variety of wild birds, suitable for feeding all year round and an extremely important food source when naturally occurring foods are scarce, for example birds like: robins, finches, wrens, sparrows, dunnocks, starlings, siskins, nuthatches and tits will all enjoy fat balls if made available.

Our economical bulk pack of 200 high quality fat balls are supplied in two boxes that each contain 100 fat balls, that are 100% natural and great value for money including our new mixed variety pack that has 100 seed and 100 insect fat balls in a convenient selection box, that will ensure your wild birds that visit your garden come back again and again for more!

The key ingredient in fat balls is suet, that is manufactured using pure refined animal or vegetable fat, which is then mixed with cereals and seeds to produce fat balls. Suet is one of the most concentrated, easily metabolised high energy food sources available for wild birds, that is relished by all species.

Fat balls are a complimentary bird food and should always be fed with your favourite wild bird food or single seed variety such as: sunflower hearts and are an acceptable alternative to insect protein, that is very difficult for birds to find during the cold winter months. You can also crumble fat balls and add them to seed mixes for extra variety, you don't have to feed them whole for instance; we feed the local wildlife, including the birds that visit our premises with a special fat ball pate, that includes mealworms and suet pellets that we combine with squashed fat balls from split boxes, that we feed from a bird table and several squirrel proof feeders!

You can also make your own fat balls, which we recommend trying at least once by pouring melted fat over a mixture of seeds, peanuts, dried fruits, oatmeal or simply by using your favourite blended wild bird seed, available on the website to create appetising fat balls in a variety of sizes for the hungry birds that visit your garden. Lots of fat ball recipes can be found on the internet to help you create yummy balls, that will encourage even more birds into your garden!

Young fledglings in particular need insect protein for growth and development, so it's important to feed fat balls all year round as they are an ideal substitute for insect protein that is easy to metabolise!

Fat Balls for Birds - Feeding Advice

All our fat balls we sell don't contain bulking materials such as sand and waste which is immoral, but completely legal, that can be found in some cheap, inferior fat balls sold online or in garden centres, so please be aware! Buy your fat balls from us with complete confidence that you are buying high quality suet balls with no unsavoury ingredients.

The fat balls we sell for birds can even cope with frost, allowing you to place them out in the cold winter weather and attract wild birds that require soft nutrition rather than seeds or peanuts, especially smaller bird species, providing them with an important source of nutritious food throughout the year, when natural alternatives, such as insects, grasses and seeds may not be unavailable!

Fat Balls are also important for mid-sized birds, who need a high-protein food they can swallow quickly, instead of spending time cracking and swallowing smaller seeds such as millet. We always recommend that you remove the mesh nets from the fat balls before feeding them to prevent both birds and squirrels getting entangled in them, stopping unnecessary damage to claws that are vital for feeding themselves.

Please note all the fat balls we sell on the website, including the economical bulk boxes are now supplied without the mesh netting, for the safety and welfare of all the wildlife that visits your garden, not just the birds as hedgehogs are also partial to fat balls too.

The boxes of fat balls with seeds we sell are individually wrapped in plastic packets, without the mesh nets to keep the balls as fresh as possible for your hungry birds. Whereas the insect fat balls are supplied with no nets or wrapping, making them easier for customers that fill several fat ball feeders at once, saving valuable time!

Regardless of where you purchase your fat balls, we advise that you always remove any mesh netting and feed them from a suitable fat ball feeder like the squirrel resistant feeder above, bird table or directly on the ground for the birds to squabble over!

We recommend to all bird enthusiasts to feed fat balls all year round, to encourage birds to visit your garden daily, but especially from autumn to early summer to satisfy the high energy food requirements needed by birds to survive the cold winter months, when food is scarce and birds are extremely hungry to give them vital energy for nesting building and raising young fledglings.

Why not spoil your wild birds and buy a range of high energy suet foods, not just fat balls to create interest and appeal to a larger variety of birds, for example delicious Suet Pellets that are available in various flavours, suitable for young and adult birds that are easy to digest and packed with energy or perhaps some Suet Filled Coconuts, that can be hung around your garden?
