Farmer Scott's Fat Ball Tub Pack of 50 – High Energy Wild Bird Food

Farmer Scott's Fat Ball Tub – 50 Fat Balls

Fifty fat balls in a sealed tub — the format that stops half a box going soft and stale at the back of a shed. Fat is the most useful single thing you can put out in winter: it is close to pure energy, and small birds that have burned through the night's reserves by dawn will take it before anything else on the table.

They feed from a fat ball feeder, a bird table or a ground tray, and fifty will run one feeder through most of a cold season. Farmer Scott's publish no recipe and no analysis for these, so the declaration printed on the tub is the one to go by.

Performance & Benefits

• Fifty fat balls in a resealable tub.
• High-energy winter feeding for the widest range of garden birds.
• Feeds from a fat ball feeder, a bird table or a ground tray.
• The tub keeps the balls dry and firm, which a cardboard box does not.
• Bulk quantity, so one purchase covers most of a winter for a single feeder.

Suitable For

• Robins, blue tits, great tits, coal tits and long-tailed tits.
• Starlings, house sparrows, dunnocks and greenfinches.
• Fat ball feeders, bird tables and ground trays.
• Continuous feeding through autumn and winter.
• A large quantity for a small garden. Henry Bell Superior Fat Balls Pack of 6 is the size for occasional feeding.

Feeding

• Take balls from the tub as needed and reseal it between fills.
• Load a fat ball feeder, or set the balls out on a bird table or ground tray.
• Keep the tub somewhere cool and out of direct sun so the fat stays firm.
• Clean the feeder regularly and keep fresh water available for drinking and bathing.
• Made for feeding wild birds only. Not for human consumption.

Composition & Analysis

• Farmer Scott's publish no ingredient declaration and no typical analysis for their fat balls, and do not list fat balls on their own website at all.
• No protein, oil, fibre or ash figure is stated here for that reason. The declaration printed on the tub is the authority for the batch you receive.
• Descriptions of the contents as suet and mixed seed appear on some listings; that is not a Farmer Scott's published declaration and is not repeated here.
• Tub of 50. Barcode 5026132035784.

Care & Caution

• Check each ball and remove any plastic net before you put it out. Nets catch birds' feet and beaks. Farmer Scott's do not state whether these balls are netted, so check the tub.
• In warm weather the fat softens, spoils quickly and can smear on plumage. Feed less at a time in summer and clear away anything left.
• Made for wild birds only. Not for human consumption.
