This is a collaborative post in partnership with Happy Beaks
Would you like to do more to look after your local wild birds? This great giveaway from Happy Beaks will help you provide a feast for your feathered friends this autumn.
Why is it important to feed wild birds?
As the seasons shift towards shorter days and colder temperatures, it’s harder for wild birds to find food. By the time winter arrives, natural sources of food such as berries and insects are pretty scarce. Combine this with the fact that birds need lots of energy-rich food to maintain fat reserves during colder months, and you can see why it’s a great idea to provide bird food in your garden at this time of year.
As well as helping your local wild birds to thrive and making your garden more wildlife friendly, providing a source of food will also mean you can enjoy spotting lots of bird visitors in your garden. This is a nice way to get kids interested in nature, and an ideal prompt to spend time outdoors in autumn and winter.
Quality bird food from Happy Beaks
Happy Beaks supply a really comprehensive range of high quality bird food and feeding accessories. The range covers everything you need to keep your local wild birds well-fed, from individual seed bags, seed mixes and suet products to feeders. I really like the fact that you can choose from a range of sizes on all their bird food, this means you can easily find a quantity that suits the size of your garden and your bird feeders.
You can check out the full range of Happy Beaks products here.
Here’s some more information on each item in the prize bundle.
Kingfisher wooden garden bird table
Offering a variety of feeds is an easy way to attract lots of different types of wild bird to your garden, and this traditional wooden bird table allows you to do this all in one place. It’s ideal if your garden doesn’t have trees or other hanging space for feeders, and it’s free-standing so it can be moved around easily.
Peanut splits 12.75kg bag
Peanuts are rich in protein, fat and fibre, so they make an excellent high-energy snack for birds. Providing split peanuts means birds don’t have to break them up, which allows them to feed more quickly, and also makes it easier and safer for smaller birds to join in with the feast. Peanuts are also a fantastic ingredient for homemade bird feeders, which are lots of fun for kids to make.
Mealworms 500g bag
No, they’re not pretty, but birds absolutely love them! Dried mealworms provide birds with a high-energy, high protein snack, and they’re also a great way to help parents keep ever-hungry baby birds happy.
Sunflower hearts 5kg bag
Birds of all shapes and sizes will love to find sunflower hearts in your feeders. The fact that these have had the husks removed means there’s very little in the way of mess, so this is a good option for a low-maintenance feeding station.
What a great selection of bird feeding supplies – your local feathered friends would definitely be spoilt for choice! Which varieties of wild birds would you love to tempt into your garden with this bundle?

We already have lots of sparrows and a couple of robins but once upon a time we saw blue tits and great tits. I’d love to encourage them back and also to tempt goldfinches in.
Robins, Finches and Sparrows!
We already get quite an array of birds in our garden, but I’m hoping to get the goldfinches and long tailed tits to stay longer!!
I’ve been trying to feed our birds but the badgers keep eating all the food!

Something other than magpies, parakeets and wood pigeons. It would be nice to see some sparrows and finches
I love to see any birds at my bird table. The only drawback to my home is there is no view of the garden from the sitting room. When I was ill my husband set up bird feeding stations outside the windows as the next best thing and I love to see a wide variety of birds there, particularly nuthatches, tits, robins and finches.
Blue Tits and robins, I dont get many birds in my garden which is a shame but I would love to attract more

I would like to attract as many wild birds as possible apart from perhaps the sparrow hawk that has feasted on bird in our garden on more than one occasion. Love to see the more unusual ones like the woodpecker.

Hopefully this fabulous bundle would attract the woodpecker that lives in the trees surrounding our property, and some Gold Finches
Would be lovely to see the FIELDFARE that came the other year when the “Beast From The East” happened. We had one one day and then about 7 the following day, they’d obviously told their friends. But we have a robin who will sit and wait patiently when we are digging about in the garden and once he came and had a bath until a pigeon came down and scared him away.
I already have a regular bold robin visitor but would love to see a crow or rook to befriend. Some wagtails would be lovely too

I would give this as a gift to my mum she loves watching the birds from her window, she especially likes Robins and says they are passed family and freinds coming back for a visit.
We love watching all our feathered visitors. In particular the long-tailed tits and great tits.
We are so lucky to live within our local park and so we get an abundance of beautiful friends visit our small garden every day. However i have a real soft spot for the little wrens who have made a nest in the bush just outside my kitchen window. Im constantly on the lookout to see them make an appearance.
Beautiful giveaway thank you so much for the opportunity x
I would love to see some chaffinches and goldfinches

We have just managed to encourage Goldfinches to visit our garden xx
We have a robin that visits our garden on a regular basis. Sometimes, we see the odd finch, so it would be nice to attract them on a regular basis.
