Feeding birds may be one of the most rewarding jobs to be done in any garden but cleaning up all the husks and shells the birds leave behind is a chore. Seed shells and husks can soon add up and spoil if left to mulch in the rain. This can make quite a mess and cause hygiene issues for the birds and other inhabitants of your garden.
A build up of debris, mould and rotting food stuffs can also encourage rats, who can go on to cause all sorts of issues regarding health and hygiene. Mould can also be a concern, and may stain your table as well as spread to other foods you may have left out.
No mess bird seed is an easy way for you to reduce this waste and mess as all the shells and husks have been removed, leaving only the edible parts of the seeds for the birds to enjoy. By reducing the amount of waste produced at the bird table, you can easily keep your bird dining area clean.
It’s a treat for you and for the birds
Not only is life easier for you, the birds do well out of it as well. They won’t have to peck through dust and husks to get to the food and you can put it out for them all year round in their feeders and tables, or simply on the ground.
The seed used is also a quality treat for them to enjoy as no mess seeds are usually a blend of sunflower hearts, kibbled maize, husk-free oats and canary seed, which lots of different birds enjoy.
No mess seed is a popular choice for birders and birds, it’s the healthy convenience food for our feathered fellows.
