Classic, reliable, and rich in natural energy – made in Britain with suet, wheat, and seeds your garden birds will love.

Our British Wheat Fatballs are traditional, high-energy suet balls made right here in the UK using suet, UK-grown wheat, and oil-rich seeds.
They’re slightly firmer than our maize version, making them perfect for feeders and bird tables alike — and because they’re made from quality ingredients, they stay appetising all year round.
Feed them through winter to keep birds warm, and through summer to support moulting, breeding, and busy parent birds.

Who You’ll Attract
You’ll welcome a wide range of garden favourites: Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Long-Tailed Tits, Robins, Greenfinches, Chaffinches, Blackbirds, Sparrows, and Thrushes.

How to Feed Them

  • Hang in a fatball feeder, or place on a bird table or tray.
  • Feed first thing in the morning and late afternoon for best results.
  • Crumble one in frosty weather to help small birds access the food quickly.

Wiggly Tip:
Pair a feeder of fatballs with a shallow dish of water – you’ll double the bird visits and keep them hydrated as they feed.

These wheat-based fatballs are made in Britain using suet and grains grown on local UK farms.
Shorter supply chains mean fewer miles, better quality, and fresh batches made for the UK climate.
The wheat base gives a little more structure for hanging feeders, while the suet delivers the rich energy birds need to survive cold nights and thrive in spring.

Sustainability & Packaging

  • Made in Britain – supporting local agriculture.
  • Short supply chains – lower carbon footprint, fresher feed.
  • Bulk packs available for less packaging and great value.

Wiggly Tip:
Keep a few fatballs in an airtight tub or tin in the shed. When the temperature drops or the garden goes quiet, pop a few out — you’ll soon have company!

Suet is nature’s powerhouse fuel.
It’s packed with calories that birds burn fast to stay warm, fly further, and recover from moulting or feeding chicks.
Where seed provides slow-release energy, suet offers instant heat and vitality — particularly vital in winter.
Combined with wheat and oil-rich seeds, it’s the perfect balance of fats, carbohydrates, and essential oils.

The Science Bit:
Wild birds can burn up to 10% of their body weight overnight in cold weather. Suet replaces that energy quickly, helping them survive harsh nights and return strong to the feeder the next day.

Wiggly Tip:
In freezing weather, alternate between Wheat and Maize Fatballs – the maize ones stay crumbly, while these wheat ones hold better in feeders. Variety keeps your birds happy and healthy.

Storage & Freshness

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from damp.
  • Once opened, reseal or keep in a lidded tub.
  • Use within 6–12 months for best results.

Goes Well With

  • British Maize Fatballs – for softer texture in winter.
  • Huskless Mix – perfect seed blend to complement suet feeds.
  • Live Mealworms – natural protein boost for robins and blue tits.

Wiggly Tips:

  • If you notice fatballs going too soft in heat, move feeders into partial shade.
  • Break a ball into pieces for fledglings and smaller species.

Quick FAQs
Are they made in the UK?
Yes – produced in Britain using UK-grown wheat and seeds.
Do they melt in summer?
They’ll soften in direct sun but stay stable if shaded.
Can I use them all year?
Yes – ideal as a core feed for year-round bird care.
What’s the difference from Maize Fatballs?
These are firmer and slightly denser – great for hanging feeders. Maize versions stay crumbly in frost.

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!

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!
