Recent studies have shown an increase in infectious diseases among British wild birds, including trichomonosis, a condition that can be extremely harmful to finches. With this in mind, we recommend anyone feeding wild birds to follow practical advice from national bodies such as the RSPB. Only use fresh, clean foods that have been specifically designed for the feeding of wild birds. Swap out food and water regularly to prevent it becoming damp or stale, which can lead to a buildup of bacteria. Also, try not to use feeders with feeding trays to prevent buildup of faeces or other infectants, and always disinfect your feeders or feeding stations at least once a week. For more information, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
Follow the latest guidelines and information about the disease that's affecting Greenfinches in the UK, as well as what you can do to counter the spread and protect the birds.
All our bird seed mixes have been designed to deliver high quality avian nutrition.
At Maltbys' Stores we understand that feeding wild birds is a highly rewarding and entertaining pastime. What's more, with many of our treasured song and garden bird species now sadly in decline, feeding wild birds is more vital than ever in aiding conservation efforts.
Why are natural dog chews the right choice for your dog?
Natural treats are free from added hormones and antibodies, which, when present in other treats, can cause a harmful buildup in your dog that can lead to hyperactivity, weakened immune system and a range of other health conditions. Generally natural treats are also less likely to cause an allergic reaction in your dog as they are free from added allergens, such as gluten.
