Bird and wildlife care supplier in Essex 

Birdcare

Make your garden a haven for birds and wildlife with our range of feeds, houses and treats.  

Wildlife plays a vital role in keeping our gardens healthy and full of life. In fact, around half of us in the UK regularly feed garden birds – some of which can become true allies in the garden. Take the Song Thrush, for example, a charming visitor that loves to feast on slugs!

But it’s not just about the birds! Our gardens are home to all kinds of wildlife, from hardworking bees to natural pest controllers such as frogs and ladybirds. Encouraging these animals helps to create a thriving, balanced ecosystem right outside your door.

We stock a lovely range of ornamental homes and habitats – including insect hotels and bird boxes – designed to bring charm to your garden while providing a safe space for wildlife to settle and flourish.

Need advice on how to create a wildlife-friendly garden? Visit our guide for tips and inspiration.

If you’re looking for personalised help or just fancy chatting about your garden visitors, head over to our Birdcare & Wildlife Department – they really know their nuts!

May's Top Tip

Metal bird feeders are less-easily damaged by squirrels, making them a better choice than plastic versions.
