The main ingredient in our bird fat balls is suet, which comes from the fat that surrounds the kidney of large animals. Our bird fat balls make an ideal addition to your Winter bird food selection; suet helps to provide vital calories to birds when the weather is colder and they need more energy. However, they are also an important addition to year-round bird food selections. Suet is particularly favoured by most species of tit but it is also enjoyed by most other birds, including the Great Spotted Woodpecker. Buy fat balls if you want to attract a range of wild bird species to your garden throughout the year. Our original suet balls are net free, so they are safer for birds.

Very good. Some slightly broken balls but overall arrived in acceptable condition.

Very popular. Tends to get monopolised by magpies and parakeets though

Excellent they don’t last long .

Good value and the birds love them
31/08/2020Patricia Manning
The birds eat them every day so the balls are a welcome addition

Birds love these, can’t get enough. In fact I need more space on the feeder pole. More fat balls on display means more birds trying to feed, help...

The birds love them and that's what counts!

Very popular with our gangs of noisy juvenile starlings! House sparrows occasionally get a look in and great tits, blue tits and coal tits enjoy them when they can. Ground feeders pick up the fallen crumbs.
30/07/2020Wilson Paterson
Very popular with the starlings in particular. Excellent value.

The local wild birds like these very much- especially this time of year when they are feeding their young. Prompt delivery and well packaged, no complaints at all.

The fat balls are an excellent product and much-loved by the birds in my garden. However, quite a number of the fat balls were crumbled up at the bottom of the box when they were delivered, and in fact, left a trail of crumbs through the hall. There was no lining paper in the box which might have helped to keep them together. Otherwise, I am very pleased with them.

Our resident flock of tree sparrows can't get enough of these. They have learned to cling on to the fat ball feeder - so have the blackbirds and starlings. All types of tit love them and Woody Woodpecker tries his luck occasionally, too. There's always a woodpigeon waiting underneath the feeder waiting for the bits that fall down. I love that we can source them in a large quantity packed in a cardboard box - I repack them into plastic tubs left over from other brands so that we are not buying into more single-use plastic. So they seem like a winner all round.

Great for our sparrows - using 10 a day! however, bottom layer of box of 150 broken up and difficult to use.
30/07/2020Sue Large
Very pleased with this product and buy regularly. Delivery always very prompt, though slightly slower at the moment!
30/07/2020Ken Ward
The suet fat balls are very good and very popular with the sparrows and blue tits - BUT, cramming 150 into a 100 box meant that many were crushed into crumbs when they were delivered.
30/07/2020David Stadalink
It took the birds a while to take to these as they were used to the Super Suet Balls but once they started they were queuing up to get at them. The Starlings and Sparrows were really comical to watch they put on a great show in these mad times.
30/07/2020Dave Freak
The birds in my garden clearly approve as I'm topping up the feeders daily, if not twice per day. So 300 fat balls at a good price also gets my approval.
30/07/2020Kelly Davies
Better value to buy the jumbo box (150) but don't know whether they had been shaken about in transit too much s there was a lot 'bittiness' in the box. The birds didn't have a problem with some of the balls being mis-shapen/broken and they have really loved them.
18/07/2020Keith Young
Very good. I shall be ordering more.
30/06/2020Rosemary Sargent
I bought these as my last order of “super suet” fat balls were gobbled up incredibly quickly by hordes of juv starlings. It took a day or 2 before these were as popular but the birds have eaten them with relish. Am having to refill the feeders very quickly. I noticed the catalogue said birds may not eat these if they had previously been fed “super suet”- but they did! It just took a few days before they gave in- the others were easier to demolish!

going down well
29/06/2020Ashley Hoare
Quality of product good but approximately 20% unusable as they were damaged during transit.
29/06/2020John Hart
These suet balls are great and the birds love them; the price is good too! The only issue is that they are quite crumbly and if mishandled in transit you can easily end up with fewer balls than you expected and a 2-inch layer of suet crumbs in the bottom of the box! This isn’t really a Vine House Farm issue, but maybe the box could be better labelled for the shippers as “very fragile”.

Birds devouring them at speed. Offering good competition to my neighbour suddenly deciding to feed birds during lockdown!
29/06/2020Tim Atkins
The fat ball have gone down well with our birds - again all birds seem to come to the feeders housing the fat ball. My only grouse would be that transportation from you via the carrier resulted in a lot of damage to the fat ball both chunks and small particles of the balls. BUT to get a large amount of fat ball in one go suits us very well!
29/06/2020Lewis Thomas
excellent service
29/06/2020Tony Clarke
The bird activity in our garden is sheer madness and we have to top up the fat balls three times a day. They have encouraged various birds to nest nearby and we currently have about 20 sparrows, plus dunnocks, starlings and robins. Jackdaws and Jays sometimes try their luck but are easily dissuaded. Blackbirds and wood pigeons mop up what falls to the ground.
29/06/2020Clare Kingett
Very good quality. Don't fall apart, unlike others I have bought and the birds like them.
02/06/2020Annette Hope
These are excellent - only too popular with sparrows, jackdaws, magpies, the main consumers. The consistency is good - firm but not rock hard. We have our very own breakfast cinema every morning!
28/05/2020Judy Dyson
Birds love them, especially the sparrows.
28/05/2020Katrina Mcmanus
Birds feeding well on them, so no complaints from our feathered friends. They must be enjoying them! Delivery was on time and well packaged. Thank you.
28/05/2020Rosemary Cook
These fat balls are clearly popular with all the birds that visit my garden. My only problem is that I have to replenish daily as the Jackdaws have discovered the easy food source.
28/05/2020Valerie Downs
Birds absolutely love these SUET fat balls. Trouble is they're going down very fast!

The product is fine - greatly appreciated by our garden birds. It was well packaged and reasonable value for m oney. My complaint is that it took over a week to deliver - DHL incompetence - which makes me reluctant to re-order
30/04/2020Gwynneth Jennings
These are very good & loved by all the birds. I normally order the superior variety but those were out of stock this time.

The blue tits and sparrows love the suet fat balls
27/04/2020Linda pepper
Very good service, maybe the time of year but the birds aren't interested in fatballs, however they will keep for when the birds get hungry.
27/04/2020Mark Turnbull
Competitively priced and consistent quality. Well packaged and net free. Will buy again.

The potentially harmful plastic netting usually found on suet balls is not included on our bird fat balls. This eliminates the possibility of birds getting entangled in the netting.
Feed these original suet balls on a bird table or in a fat ball feeder.
Our fat balls are made from a combination of seeds, nuts, mealworms and suet. They are the perfect high energy food for birds during the colder months; their high fat content means that they help birds consume much-needed energy in a short space of time, which they need to keep warm when temperatures are low. However, our fat balls make an excellent addition to any garden throughout the year and will attract several species of wild bird no matter what season it is.
Suet is especially favoured by most species of tit, but other species of bird including Great spotted woodpeckers will eat them.
Our bird fat balls are high quality, and are also supplied without netting -- which is not always the case with other cheap suet balls available to buy online. Some of the cheapest suet balls on the bird food market include a mesh net when they are delivered. If the netting is not removed before they are put out, this can lead to birds being injured and, in some cases, dying.
