Like a delicious nougat bar you might find in the treat aisle at the local supermarket, these eye-catching bird treats are great to look at and, if you’re a New Zealand bird, even better to snack on.

Bonded with natural vegetable fat, these wild bird gourmet treats contain a mixture of delectable fruit and New Zealand grown seeds to provide a vital source of nutrition and essential fats for garden birds. Unlike many suet-based feed products, these hanging treats do not need to be refrigerated either – so you can store and hang them when they’re needed most..

  • Made in New Zealand
  • A fuss-free way to attract birds to the garden
  • This treat can attract silvereye, sparrow, tui, thrush, rosella, pigeon and blackbird

Where to hang your bird feeder: Simply remove from the packaging and hang the treat in a tree, ensuring it is well out of predators’ reach. Preferably hang it somewhere where you can sit back in an old chair and watch your feathered friends enjoy this delicious NZ-grown treat.

Ingredients: Vegetable fat, canary seed, white french millet, oats, NZ sunflower, wheat, weedseed, sorghum, maize, dried apricots, millet spray heads.

Size: 115mm diameter x 25mm deep

FAQs

Where can commercially compostable packaging be processed in New Zealand?

A number of facilities around New Zealand accept commercially compostable packaging, and the list is growing.

  • Christchurch City Council Organics Processing Plant – Operated by Living Earth
  • Capital Compost – Wellington Southern Landfill
  • Revital - Central North Island including Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki
  • Palmerston North City Council (Awapuni Resource Recovery Park)
  • Hampton Organics – Hampton PARRC - Waikato
  • Envirofert Limited - Auckland & Waikato

An alternative is to find someone locally who makes “hot compost”. In this method of composting, the temperature of the heap rises to 55°C, just like a commercial facility. Our packaging will break down in a well-managed hot compost heap.
