Bird Feeder Supplies

Looking for good links to purchase or obtain wild bird food for uk deliveries.
Mainly Sunflower hearts.

The garden birds are eating me out of house and home, so I need to economise my spend. Tried 'googling' but got so many hits got confused (easy for me :) )

So I thought I'd ask Chatterbank members for their opinions and who they use.

Think I'm supporting the entire sparrow population around here at times!!!

Wilkinsons(Wilko) are reasonably priced for large bag of sunflower hearts - the finchs love them! (they do a nice square holder too which is only suitable for small birds, so the starlings can't pinch them all!)

Thanks webbo and roslyn,
I normally use Wilko's or The Range to buy sunflower hearts in the 2Kg packs, but just lately they are always out of stock. I was thinking of buying them online in bigger packs which should bring the cost down, and a lot of them appear to do free delivery as well.

I get quite a few starlings as well, but they are all welcome. My OH calls them the 'Hooligans' when they arrive en-mass!!

The RSPB sell bird food and they deliver. I use Scats, I buy 50kg sacks of mixed seed £7.49, and 50kg sack of peanuts £18.00. make my own fat balls. both sacks last about 3 monts so very ecconomical, but I guess it is where you live. Most equine feed stores will sell bird feed in large amounts and cheaqper than the high st.
