Why choose fat balls for birds?
Fat balls, also known as suet balls or bird feed balls, are one of the best high-energy foods you can offer wild birds in the UK. Made with premium suet, seeds and grains, they provide vital calories during cold weather, moulting, and breeding seasons. Whether you're topping up a feeder or laying them on a table, fatballs are a reliable way to attract a wide variety of garden birds.
