Fat Balls & Suet Balls for Birds

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.

Benefits of suet fat balls

• High in energy – Helps birds survive harsh winters and busy nesting periods.
• Popular with many species – Loved by robins, tits, sparrows and blackbirds.
• Low mess – Compact, easy to handle, and leaves little waste behind.
• No harmful fillers or nets – Just nutritious, bird-safe ingredients.
