Key Nutritional & Safety Benefits

• Net-Free Safety: Designed entirely without hazardous plastic mesh nets. This prevents birds' feet, tongues, and beaks from becoming entangled or severely injured while feeding.
• Energy-Rich Formula: Packed with high-quality ingredients like beef tallow and sunflower seeds to provide a concentrated burst of calories. This helps birds maintain their body temperature through freezing winter weather and fuels them during busy, active breeding seasons.
• The Sustainable Box Option: By choosing the £2 cheaper cardboard box of 50, you are making a fantastic, sustainable choice that drastically cuts down on household plastic waste while still providing top-tier nutrition for your garden birds.
• Easy Feeding: Simple to place into appropriate wire fat ball feeders or crumble directly onto raised bird tables for daily garden visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I remove the plastic nets if I buy fat balls elsewhere?

Yes, absolutely. While these Peckish balls come safely net-free by design, if you ever purchase netted fat balls, you must always cut off and discard the nets before placing them in a proper fat ball feeder or on a bird table. Nets are a major hazard to wild birds.

Where should I hang the fat ball feeder?

We recommend situating your feeders around 2 metres away from the closest area of safe cover (like a thick hedge or tree). This ensures the feeder is highly visible to passing birds while offering them a secure, quick place to retreat if a predator, such as a sparrowhawk or neighbourhood cat, appears.
