Bill Oddie's tasty bird food recipes : Hippyshopper

I have a confession...I'm an amateur twitcher! I never leave home without my binoculars, and my garden is fast turning into a wild bird sanctuary.

I've experimented with lots of different bird foods, but have come to the conclusion that my birds definitely prefer Bill Oddie's Bird Food Recipes range. They go crazy for the Garden Friendly Combo, a delicious mix of sunflower hearts, peanut granules, oatmeal, maize and maize oil..yum! As you would expect, Bill has created a large range of quality foods and feeders which are specifically designed to attract different types of birds, depending on the recipe. The quality of the feed is reflected in the price, with the smallest (1kg) bag costing about £3.25. I find the bigger the bag, the better the value, and Bill's 'Big Bag's' are £12.95 for 13kg. Proceeds from certain varieties goes to the Woodland Trust.
