Here at Really Wild Bird Food we understand that if you love birds, you’re probably a fan of animals in general - and you might even have a furry friend of your own at home. If you’re letting your dog run around in the same area where you hang your bird feeders, it’s important to remember that not all bird-safe products are suitable for dogs.

In this blog, we will be delving into the topic of dogs and bird food, focusing on one question in particular: can dogs safely eat fat balls?

Winter is almost upon us, and all around we can see nature preparing for the season. The autumn leaves are falling, hedgehogs are preparing for hibernation, and birds are on the hunt for high fat food to help them survive the cold winter nights.

Winter is a very important time of year for wild bird feeding – food can be very scarce this time of year, so when selecting your bird feed, it’s best to go with a high-fat, nutrient dense feed option like fat balls.

There is a great variety of bird feed available for the wild birds. Amongst these seeds and mealworms are the fatballs which are one of the most popular forms of bird feed. Fatballs prove to be excellent feed options for the birds especially during the winter.
