Sultanas for Birds

Succulent sultanas are a real favourite of ground-feeding garden birds such as Blackbirds, Song Thrushes, and Starlings. They are particularly valuable in late winter and spring, when natural fruits become scarce and birds need that extra energy boost. Sultanas must be soaked in water when they are fed during the breeding and fledging season, as the moisture helps maintain hydration for young birds in the nest and once they’ve fledged, something products such as suet pellets can’t offer.

These soft fruits are a great choice for feeding directly on the ground, allowing soft-billed species that can’t crack open hard seeds to benefit fully. Sultanas complement other foods fed in the same way such as Sunflower Hearts and Rolled Oats, offering variety and nutrition.

As a natural food, sultanas are safe for birds but should be kept away from dogs as they are harmful to them. As part of a balanced supplementary feeding regime, Sultanas for Birds are a highly effective and persuasive way to keep your birds healthy and returning to your garden regularly - or even making your garden their home.

Please note that sultanas can be harmful to dogs if eaten.
