In operation since 1825, Henry bell is a fourth generation, family owned, british buisiness that takes pride in it’s dedication and work toward providing the best quality of feed possible for the wild bird population. In the early 1980’s they moved onto creating flakes and pulses for the pet and animal feed industry- becoming one of the leading suppliers. In the late 90’s, they expanded again moving onto create bespoke wild bird feed and packaging for a varied range of customers. And now? they have their feet well and truly in the door with the “Brand market” domain and we here at Monkton Elm are very excited to be able to offer you, our customer, a wide range of their products.
Nyger seed is an all round favourite for Goldfinches, but many other birds are also quite fond of it (especially those with smaller beaks). Highly nutritious and rich in oils with a high protein count- which aids with the regeneration of feathers.

DOING YOUR PART FOR YOUR BIRDS-
Due to an ever decreasing source of natural food supplies, it is becoming ever more critical for us to feed our wild bird population. But not only this, we must ensure that we offer enough water for both drinking and bathing, for the birds to keep on top of their hygiene. Again, due to the ever decreasing size of natural spots where our birds could naturally take care of these issues. It is also essential that we regulary change over the feeds within our feeders as they can become damp and encourage the spread of diseases amongst the wild bird population.
