As winter fades and the first signs of spring begin to appear, March becomes an important time for garden birds across the UK. While many people think bird feeding is mainly a winter activity, early spring can actually be one of the most important times to keep feeders topped up.
Providing bird seed in March helps birds recover from winter, prepare for breeding season, and establish reliable feeding spots in your garden.
Birds Are Recovering After Winter
By the time March arrives, many birds have spent months dealing with cold weather and limited natural food. Insects, berries, and natural seeds can still be scarce early in the season.
Providing high quality bird seed helps birds regain energy and maintain good health as temperatures begin to change. Seed mixes packed with grains, oils, and nutrients give birds the energy they need for flight, foraging, and survival.
This is where a reliable seed blend like Farmer Scott's Premium Wild Bird Seed Mix 2KG can make a difference. It is designed to provide a balanced mix of seeds and grains that support birds throughout the year.
Nesting Season Is Starting
March is also when many birds begin preparing for nesting. Robins, sparrows, finches, and tits start looking for safe places to build nests and raise their young.
Nesting and raising chicks requires a lot of energy. Parent birds must gather food constantly once their chicks hatch. High energy seed blends help adult birds stay strong during this demanding time.
Products such as Farmer Scott's Wild Bird Standard Seed Mix 12.55KG Bag are rich in protein and energy, helping support garden birds as they enter the breeding season.
Attract More Birds to Your Garden
Providing bird seed regularly helps birds recognise your garden as a safe and reliable feeding area.
A good seed mix can attract a wide variety of garden birds including:
• Robins
• Blue tits
• Sparrows
• Finches
• Blackbirds
Balanced seed blends are specifically designed to attract different species and keep them returning to your garden.
Support Local Wildlife
Feeding birds is one of the simplest ways to support local wildlife. A bird feeder or bird table filled with seed can help birds during times when natural food is limited.
Brands like Farmer Scott’s produce blends using high quality seeds and grains designed to keep wild birds healthy and thriving throughout the year.
A Simple Way to Enjoy Your Garden
Putting out bird seed in March is not just good for wildlife. It also brings more life and colour into your garden as spring arrives.
Watching birds visit feeders, gather food, and begin nesting is one of the best signs that the new season has begun.
So if you want to help your local wildlife and enjoy more birds in your garden this spring, March is the perfect time to start feeding.
A good place to begin is with Farmer Scott’s Bird Seed Range, available in convenient bags for every garden, whether you are feeding from a small feeder or a busy bird table.
