Crumbly, winter-friendly fatballs made in Britain with a higher maize content, quality suet, and oil-rich seeds.
They stay soft enough to peck even in frosty weather, avoiding the rock-hard problem of cheap imports.
Small birds get more energy with less waste — and you get peace of mind knowing they’re made here in the UK using maize and seeds from our farmer-friend Parrish’s Farm.

Key Benefits

  • Proper suet fatballs with extra maize (less wheat), so they stay crumbly in cold weather.

  • Made in Britain with UK-grown ingredients (including Parrish’s Farm) and short, traceable supply chains.

  • Oil-rich seeds for energy: black sunflower and millet.

  • Calcium from oystershell flour to support eggshell quality and bone health.

  • Less attractive to pigeons than cheap, wheat-heavy balls.

(Not suitable for human consumption.)

Who You’ll Attract
These maize fatballs are ideal for garden favourites like:

  • Great Tits, Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Long-Tailed Tits
  • Greenfinches, Siskins, Chaffinches, Bullfinches
  • Robins, House Sparrows, Thrushes, and Blackbirds

How to Feed Them

  • Hang in a fatball feeder or place on a table or tray near cover.
  • Feed early morning or late afternoon when birds need the most energy.
  • On frosty mornings, crumble a ball for smaller birds to feed more easily.

Wiggly Tip:
Crush half a fatball into small pieces and scatter it under shrubs — you’ll attract robins and blackbirds that prefer feeding low to the ground.

Made in the UK using maize and seeds from Parrish’s Farm, finished to a Wiggly Wigglers recipe that prioritises energy, texture, and freshness.
Shorter supply chains mean lower carbon footprint and better traceability — so you know exactly what you’re feeding.

Sustainability & Packaging

  • Made in Britain = fewer miles, fresher feed.
  • Crumbly, usable texture = less waste.
  • Bulk packs available (e.g. 4.5 kg) for frequent feeders.

Wiggly Tip:
Store a small bucket of fatballs in your shed — when cold weather hits, you’ll always have instant fuel ready for your birds.

Birds rely on fat to stay warm and active in cold weather.
Suet provides concentrated energy, while maize and sunflower seeds add slow-release carbohydrates and essential oils.
It’s the perfect combination for maintaining condition through winter, moulting, or early breeding seasons.

Wiggly Tip:
Mix a handful of crumbled fatball into your Huskless or Seasonal Birdseed Mix — it sticks the feed together and doubles the calories for tough weather.

Storage & Freshness

  • Keep in a cool, dry place.
  • Once opened, reseal or store in a tub or airtight bag.
  • Use within 6–12 months for best texture and aroma.

Wiggly Tips:

  • If they ever start to harden, crumble and mix with seed — birds will love them just the same.
  • Pair fatballs with a fresh water source – it increases visits and keeps your flock healthy.

Goes Well With

  • Huskless Mix – perfect seed companion.
  • Seasonal Mix – combine for variety and nutrition.
  • Live Mealworms – add for a high-protein treat.

Quick FAQs
Do they go hard in frost?
No – the higher maize content keeps them crumbly and peckable.
Can I feed all year round?
Yes, though especially useful in autumn and winter when energy demand is highest.
Are they British-made?
Yes – produced in the UK using UK-grown maize and seeds.
How many should I feed at once?
Start with two or three in a feeder, then top up daily as needed.

What our customers say

Brilliant live worms and great service! I ordered a batch of live composting worms for my new wormery, and they arrived in perfect condition — lively, healthy, and ready to get to work straight away. The packaging was eco-friendly, and the team even included a little guide on how to settle them in. My kitchen scraps are disappearing fast, and I’ve already started harvesting my first bit of worm compost. Couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic bokashi composting advice As a complete beginner to bokashi composting, I really appreciated how helpful the team were. They answered all my questions quickly and gave me simple, clear instructions to get started. The bokashi bran is top quality and smells fresh and pleasant. After just a few weeks, I’ve turned my kitchen waste into brilliant compost-ready material with no odour or mess. Highly recommended!
James T.
Top-notch British birdseed mix The British birdseed from Wigglys is superb. It attracts a lovely variety of garden birds — robins, finches, and even a pair of goldfinches have started visiting regularly. You can tell it’s a quality mix with no fillers or dust. Delivery was quick, and everything was packaged sustainably. It’s become my go-to source for bird feed!
