Straight bird foods are those which are not mixed – so products such as black sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts, peanuts and sultanas. At Vine House Farm, we grow some of the seed and grain right here on our farm, and these include black sunflower, white millet and wheat.
Bird seed mixes have the advantage of combining a number of different foods, most of which are seeds but may also contain other ingredients such as suet pellets. We have a wide range of these products, some of which contain seeds with the husk removed which reduces waste and mess.
Suet products for garden birds have become increasingly popular in recent years, with the three main types being suet blocks, suet balls and suet pellets. Our suet products are high in fat and therefore provide energy for birds, so include at least one in your bird feeding regime.
Our British bred Live Mealworms and Live Wax Worms are an essential food during the busy breeding season, enabling adult birds to take moist and energy-rich food to their nestling family. Here at Vine House Farm, we supply the very popular Live and Dried Mealworms in range of pack sizes. Live foods, especially Live Mealworms, are a favourite of many species including Robins, Blackbirds and Sparrows. Due to their popularity we recommend that you feed them from a specialist live food feeder. We have a wide range of live food feeders available.
