Our Hard Frost Seed Mix is a high energy bird food packed with sunflower hearts, chopped peanuts, nyger seed, berry suet pellets and mealworms, with millet, maize and naked oats. It's rich in the fats and protein small birds need to survive long, cold nights and to raise their young in spring. A welcome source of energy, consider supplementing your usual bird seed with this mix when the weather turns cold.

Key features:

• High in fats and protein to help birds through cold spells

Q 1. Where and how much should I feed?
Use in a hanging seed feeder or on a bird table, about 2 metres from a hedge or shrub for cover. Feed generously from autumn to early spring, when natural food is scarce and nights are long. In milder months, offer smaller amounts so the mix stays fresh and is eaten within a day or two.

Q2. How do I store it and keep feeders clean?
Keep in a cool, dry, airtight container. The peanuts, suet and sunflower hearts are oil-rich and spoil faster in warmth or damp. In warm weather, put out less at a time so the suet doesn't soften. Clean feeders every week or two with hot soapy water or a wildlife-safe disinfectant, and discard any seed that looks damp or mouldy.
