As frosty mornings arrive and daylight hours shorten, wild birds across the UK face the challenge of keeping up their energy reserves during the colder months. Natural food sources deplete for wild birds in winter, so this Christmas, leading wild bird care brands Peckish and Gardman are encouraging nature lovers to spread the festive cheer outdoors by giving the gift of nourishment.
Two specially created seasonal gift sets are now available, and are the perfect gift for wild bird enthusiasts and thoughtful shoppers looking for a unique present for friends and family.
Peckish Wild Bird Gift Set
This charming gift set makes it easy to care for one of the UK’s most loved wild birds, the robin. Inside, you’ll find a Peckish Seed Feeder paired with Peckish Robin Insect Mix. The premium seed blend is enriched with robin’s favourites such as mealworms and insects, as well as the brand’s unique CalVita® vitamin mix – a blended pellet of beneficial vitamins and minerals that helps to keep them fit and healthy. This blend has been carefully created for robins, and features soft, small, and protein-rich ingredients that are ideal for small beaks.
The handy, reusable feeder can be hung in trees, from feeding stations, or on a universal hook. It’s reliable, refillable, and fully recyclable, perfect for keeping robins nourished all season long and encouraging them back to your garden and filling it with colour during those grey months of winter. The Peckish Wild Bird Gift Set is available from many good garden centres, RRP £9.99.
Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a selection box and now garden birds can enjoy one too. The Gardman Festive Feasts Selection Box is packed with high-energy, nutritious treats designed to keep birds thriving through the winter, and makes a delightful gift for wild bird enthusiasts.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Gardman Flip Top Seed Feeder – a plastic feeder with a flip top lid for easy filling
- Gardman No Mess Seed Mix (1.6kg) – a premium blend of sunflower hearts and peanut bites, with 100% edible ingredients, so there’s no mess, no husks, and no waste left behind
- Gardman Seed & Mealworm Suet Feast – a protein-packed suet block that’s a year-round favourite
- Gardman Suet Filled Coconut – a natural, ready-to-hang coconut shell filled with suet and seeds for a tasty, energy-rich meal
- Gardman 6 Pack of Fat Snax – suet, cereal and seed balls for a nutritious snack that keeps wild birds’ energy up even in the depths of winter.
Beautifully packaged, this thoughtfully curated box is the ultimate winter feast for garden birds and helps to attract a variety of species to gardens across the nation. The Gardman Festive Feasts Selection Box is available from many good garden centres, RRP £14.99.
Anastasia Scaife, Head of Marketing, Bird & Pet Care Division, commented: “The festive season is a time for giving, and what better way to celebrate than by supporting our much-loved garden birds? These gift sets are a thoughtful present for nature enthusiasts and a wonderful way to make a real difference to wildlife during the coldest months of the year.”
