Re-useable Packaging - for bird feeding

When feeding wild birds we believe that it is better for the environment, to supply our bird food in re-usable packaging. The bags are 3Kg or 5Kg, making it easy to handle and store, they are also "easy pour" making it easy for you to fill your feeders without the use of a funnel. Our packaging will keep your bird food fresh, and the bag can be used again for different purposes. For example, if you order 20Kg, you will recieve it in 4 x 5Kg re-usable bags in a paper outer sack.

 
To save packaging – We use re-sealable plastic bags for all our wild bird food and  seed mix. With your help these are really efficient, you can re-use them around the home and garage for lots of things. Or you can send them back to us FREEPOST, and we will re-use them for you.
 
The paper sack we use for outer packaging is also intended for re-use. A paper sack can be used around the garden many times before it is sent for recycling. Or, if you cut the bottom off and slit it up the side, you have a good supply of plain brown wrapping paper. We seal the paper sack with a wire tie, rather than cotton. This is an old fashioned farming style of sealing, but it works, and you can use the wire again for tying things up, or you can put it in the metal recycling box. If we used cotton, some people find it hard to undo, and so the bag is generally ripped at the top, and this makes it less useful.   

Environmental Awareness

We care about the environment and the life in it. So we aim to minimise our environmental impact as much as possible. We operate on a small scale, and so do not use huge mixing and weighing machinery. We mix and pack your bird food by hand, and so use very little electricity.

To save electricity we say turn it off, or don’t use a machine in the first place – 100% effective!

Where we have to use electricity, for lighting, we use energy efficient bulbs.

Most of our heat comes from a wood burner, we cut the logs ourselves, mainly from fallen or dead trees, and we replace every one with a new tree.
