Elaine's Birding Seed Bells

Elaine's Birding Seed Bells

Elaine's Birding Seed Bells are wild bird seed treats packed with a diverse mix of high-quality seeds, made using only natural ingredients. They are designed for South African garden birders who want to offer a range of wild bird species a nutritious food source while keeping larger birds, such as pigeons, from taking it over.

Each bell is filled with carefully selected, top-quality seed chosen to suit many different wild bird species, so your garden visitors get the essential nutrients they need. Because the bells are built without perches, the birds that feed from them are the ones that can cling on with their sharp claws. This leaves fewer pickings for bigger, bossier birds and more for the smaller, more delicate species.
