Which birds turn up depends on your garden and the time of year. This is a guide to what this food is usually taken by, not a guarantee.
Our Peck 'N' Mix tub combines suet pellets with a mixed seed blend in one resealable container, giving you an easy all-in-one feed that covers both energy-rich suet and the seed variety birds look for. The tub keeps contents fresh between feeds and makes topping up a feeder simple, without decanting from an awkward sack.
The 6kg tub keeps a regularly-used feeder topped up for several weeks at a time.
An estimate. Gardens vary with the season, the weather and how many feeders you keep going.
We allow about 6g of food a bird a day. Small garden birds take in roughly 3–7g a day in total, and a feeder supplies only part of that — the rest is insects, berries and whatever is growing nearby.
The bird numbers come from the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch. In January 2026, 9.4 million birds were counted across more than 650,000 gardens, an average of about 15 birds in a garden at any one time. We treat the birds you would see at once as the regulars using your feeders through the day. That is an assumption on our part, not a figure the survey provides. We are not connected with the RSPB.
A January count sits at the busy end of the year, so expect a bag to go further once natural food returns in summer. Squirrels and pigeons will empty a feeder far faster than any of this allows for.
