How to Store Bird Food
If you've filled up your bird feeders and you've still got some seeds left over, you may be wondering where to keep the surplus; our bird feed storage tins are the perfect solution. Keeping seed and feed in a storage container is the best way to keep it fresh and mould-free.
To keep bird feed fresh and dry, store it somewhere cool and dry. Ensure the storage container is clean and dry before you put the bird feed into it; if it’s dirty, give it a clean and dry it thoroughly. Bird seed can be stored outside as long as it's protected from moisture and the weather isn't too warm.
Our bird food storage tins are ideal for storing seeds, fat balls and other treats. Of course, you will also need something to fill them with - so be sure to visit our Bird Food department before you head to the checkout!
Bird Food Storage FAQs
- What is the best way to store bird food?
Store your bird feed in a cool and dry location to help keep it fresher for longer. We’d also advise storing your bird feed in a rodent-free location if possible, since bird feed stored in greenhouses or garden sheds can attract rodents.
The best way to keep your bird feed safe and dry is to store it in a proper bird food storage tin. This is one of the best ways to keep rodents and insects out of your feed - not only can these scavengers eat your bird food, but any feed left uneaten may potentially be contaminated and dangerous to birds.
Bird feed storage tins are also the best way to ensure that your feed stays fresh for longer, and significantly reduces the chance of the feed growing damp or mouldy.
- How do you keep bird feed dry?
Open bags of bird feed are vulnerable to damp, particularly when stored in a garden shed or similar location. Even if not rained on directly, being left in a damp environment can still cause feed to become damp. Damp feed can clump together and grow mushy, making it less appetising to birds. More importantly, damp bird feed is at a higher risk of mould, bacteria, and disease spreading.
Be sure to store your bird feed somewhere dry, ideally off the floor. It is also best if you store your feed in an air tight container – investing in a good quality bird food storage tin is perhaps the most simple yet effective method for keeping bird feed dry.
