What does a bird like to eat?

Depending on the species of birds, there's many types of bird food you can put out in your garden in order to attract different species. Overall, most wild birds love seeds and mealworms, as this originates from their natural food source they'd typically find in the wild. Other feeds such as High Energy Wild Bird Food, Insect Mealworm Feast and Fruity Feast is a real favourite, because of the extra energy and variety offered in these mixes. Straight seeds are loved by specific bird species, for example, Finches love Sunflower Hearts.

What's the best thing to feed birds?

Any food in the garden is better than no food, but providing a mix that can nutritionally benefit the birds that visit is always more useful. There is no right or wrong answer as to what you can put out in your garden, it depends predominately on what birds you want to attact, as well as what season you're feeding the birds in. In the colder months from January - May you could typically see more birds visit your garden. In Autumn, less birds may visit as more natural food sources are available from things like fields and hedgerows.
