I used to buy from a local shop,but the feed was of average quality;quite a lot of husk. Looking online I discovered more choice and better quality feed,with delivery included. Since my first order... See more

Best Peanuts
I get through a lot of peanuts as my house backs onto woods. Food for Birds are always the least expensive and are great quality too. Always very reliable and speedy delivery which is a bonus.

Gone to sh*t recently - emails ignored.
Been ordering pigeon seed regularly since approximately 2020/1 with this company when a local Bamfords reseller shut down. I had no next no issues until I decided to order some cockatiel seed in 2025 which was not cleaned properly and had meal worms in.
Given the good service in the past, I decided not to leave a bad review about that even though Food for Birds (bamfords) were very dismissive and didn't help.
More recently the prices have shot up and they've introduced a subscribe and save option which doesn't let you order the exact amount you require.
Most recently of all, I ordered my regular pigeon seed and one of the bags was damaged and it looked like it had previously been opened. I emailed multiple times about this and have been ignored ever since.
The pigeon seed itself is really good quality, but now I will be looking to buy from a Bamfords reseller instead of the shady Bamfords own company as the service through resellers seems to be much better.
Bag of dust not bird food
Advise not to order unless you want a bag of bird seed full of dust! Bought Robin and Blackbird food which was the worst purchase of any company I have bought from, complained and sent photo as requested but have not heard from them as they promised, save your money and go elsewhere is my advise!
Do not order from this company pretty…
Do not order from this company pretty sure is a scam were quick to take my money nd send tracking information next day to weeks later they havnt even given it to courier was supposed to be here next day aswel I needed it urgently had to order from somewhere else tried contacting 7 times by phone and also sent messages absolute joke
Scammed me- didn't deliver.
Scammed me.
Charged a stupid amount for a tiny quantity of crushed up meal worm and then never delivered £60 worth of animal feed!
Avoid!
I really wanted to give a positive…
I really wanted to give a positive review , but in all honesty I was very disappointed indeed .
I’ve purchase floating swan food from a number of sources over about 10 year period , with varying results . I buy a bulk order , to feed the wildlife on a boat mooring . So I’m often able to get a discount .
The price this company offered was appealing , with delivery inc . So I put in an order for two large bags .
And I’ll give them their dues , they delivered very quickly ,& the floating food was well packaged .
However , when I tried feeding it to the swans , approximately 45-55% of the feed almost immediately sank to the bottom of the canal .
Now call me crazy , but surely the one and only job of floating food , is to float . So out of my £50+ purchase price , it turns out it’s only worth about £25.00 , due to this one failing in the product .
I sent a short message to the company ,& told them about the issues , & said I won’t purchase from them again . I’ve had zero feedback from them , not even an offer to give me a little cash back , or maybe supple me with some extra feed .
But I’ve had zero feedback . Which is a pity , but there you go .
I’m going to update this review , before it gets deleted , because apparently I’m now required to provide my phone number ,a reference number for the order , along with other details , in order to stop my review from being deleted .
I’m not happy to have to provide my phone number , as I placed an order via email .
Also , this order was placed months ago , so how am I supposed to provide a reference number , that I will have deleted .
I stand by my original review 100%. The floating food didn’t do the one thing it was purchased to do , float . Over half the food I tried feeding to the resident swans and ducks, sunk without trace to the bottom of the canal .
Whether or not my review is deleted is out of my hands now . But I stated my opinion on the product , and my opinion has not altered .
The Gold Standard of Bird Care
Website very easy toI don’t usually write reviews, but the experience I had with Food for Birds was so incredibly seamless that I felt compelled to share. It is rare to find a company that hits the mark on every single level, but they managed it effortlessly.
From start to finish, the process was flawless:
Premium Quality: You can tell immediately that this isn't your average, dusty store-bought seed. It’s fresh, high-grade, and the birds in my garden are absolutely losing their minds over it. I’ve seen more variety at my feeders in the last week than I have all year!
Prompt Delivery: The shipping was remarkably fast and the packaging was robust—no leaks, no mess, just pure quality delivered to my door.
Professionalism: It’s clear this team cares deeply about what they do. Every detail feels intentional and customer-focused.
If you’re looking for a company that combines a superior product with impeccable service, look no further. Food for Birds has earned a customer for life! guide around and
Rubbish
Sent me very old, dried out seeds. Turns out they’re registered on Paypal as soarmillseeds, who closed their email and all communications (even though they use it for Paypal payments…). R & E Bamford are the owners, keep clear. They didn’t even respond to emails to Food for Birds. The seeds I received were as hard as stone. Not even pigeons or starlings would eat them. Enough said.
Highly Recommended.
Been using this company for a few years and always received excellent service. Quality wild bird feed at very competitive prices and free delivery which often arrives next day. I highly recommend them.
What a great company
What a great company. Not only is the products at a fair pice, but he delivery service is also first class, with next day delivery!
I've used this company over the past year now, and havent been let down by the service or quality.
Issue resolved, super quick with no hassle!
This was my first order.
It started with a negative, with one of my parcels not being delivered by DPD, I was pleased with the time scale of the delivery from ordering, I placed my ordered late Thursday and received 2 of the 3 parcels on Saturday morning. I waited 7 days before contacting customer services via email, they responded within 24 hours, There was no hesitation, I was offered a refund or a new delivery, I opted for a new delivery with parcel force, I received it within 24 hours, great communication, top marks to Gareth Roberts from customer services, thank you.

Ordered 15kg of millet spray I am a keeper of over 100 birds I rely on quality and service from sellers to provide me with quality and safe to use products I stated this in the order note when I placed the order please do not send me any inferior products which could make my birds poorly when I received this order it was rotten and mouldy not fit for purpose I contacted customer service and explained my problem with the product they offered to pick it up and I was told if they don’t receive it in a satisfactory condition I would not get my monies back I told them it was not about the money I was more concerned about this company sending out products which could make your pets ill I have decided to bin this product and show other people of the condition this was sent clearly this company does not have any quality control and customer service shows no empathy or feelings for living creatures don’t waste your time or money with this company
Unfortunately won't be using this…
Unfortunately won't be using this Company again.
They dispatched my chicken bedding, but I had to chase with courier and this Company because of the delay in getting to me.
This Company apologised for the delay and told me it would be with me on that day. Which it was, BUT, left on doorstep, did not ring bell or knock, the product bag had a large hole one end of the bag and small holes the other end. Also the recipient name on the item was NOT me.
So I had someone else's order, with holes in the bag and obviously some of the product missing.
I complained to this Company about the courier/product condition, and they haven't even bothered to reply.
Best place for bird feed / supplies!
The absolute BEST place to get everything birds! Well-priced, high-quality feeds of so many types. Polite and helpful customer service, and to make things even better, delivery is extremely fast!! If I order on a Monday morning, my order arrives on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I am very impressed with this company and wouldn't shop anywhere else as they can be consistently relied on for price, quality and service. (I order about five 20kg bags of various seeds a month).
