Safflower is packed full of protein, which is an essential nutrient for our wild birds. Protein is particularly important during the moult season in late summer when they lose their tired worn feathers from the breeding season and regrow new winter ready feathers for optimal warmth and weather protection.
Safflower is also a great source of fat and fibre. It is a great addition to seed mixes and is also disliked by squirrels due to its bitter taste so can be used to deter squirrels from seed feeders!
Due to the hard outer shell safflower may take a bit of time for the birds to figure out how to break open the husk. Once the birds get a taste for it birds like greenfinches will seek it out!
Delivery:
Staying true to why we started Peckamix, we still make all our bird food to order in small batches and process it all by hand. This means your bird food is as fresh as possible and hasn't been sat in a warehouse for months. This does however mean we are unlikely to despatch your order same day as we need to make it for you! Please allow 3-5 days for your order to arrive.
Orders over £40 qualify for free delivery to most parts of the UK Mainland. Postcode exclusions apply, details can be found here.
For orders under £40 there is a £3.95 delivery charge.

You have the right to return any unwanted goods up to a maximum period of 30 days after you receive the goods. If you cancel your order after it has been dispatched, you are responsible for returning the goods at your own expense.
