“Bes fat balls ever, so much better quality than commercial ones. Birds love them and queue up to get them all year round. Bird numbers and breeds greatly increased. Highly recommend and they aren't event costly. Arrive promptly and well packed.”
“The birds are not too sure about these balls when given whole - possibly a bit too hard for their beaks! Now cutting them in small pieces and putting in the rest of the food on the bird table and the ground. Balls now being eaten.”
Birds can take a few weeks to get used to a new or different food source, cutting them into smaller pieces and mixing them in with existing food was the absolute right thing to do to encourage the birds to try something new.
“Not loved by the birds as much as I thought they would be. I'll persevere though and maybe move the holder to a different place, to see whether that makes a difference.”
