Product Information

As a result of this natural behaviour, most people opt to feed their parrots twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, with food as training aids and rewards in between. Step one: Gather together the things you need, such as rubber gloves, a brush and cloth for cleaning, warm soapy water containing a bird-safe disinfectant, some clear water and a cloth.

When considering the size of your bird feeding table, the first place to start is always the size of your outdoor space. If your garden is relatively small, or you have an enclosed yard, then often, the choice is made for you. Go for the one that best fits the space. Bird table design is, of course, an entirely personal decision. But the good news is there are so many to choose from you’re guaranteed to find one you love. Our range includes a total of 14 bird tables of all different sizes and looks, each one carefully crafted to create an excellent feeding environment, meaning there is a bird table for everyone! Take a look at our range here. Peppers, broccoli, butternut squash, sweet corn, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and courgettes are all loved by parrots and are great sources of nutrients, particularly Vitamin D, which is essential to supplement. Step two: Pop on your rubber gloves and brush off any old food and loose debris that has collected. Calcium is crucial for maintaining a strong skeletal system, for egg development, muscle contraction, nerve impulses, and a host of other important metabolic systems. They also aid the absorption of phosphorus, another vital mineral for the birds in your garden, and they are high in protein and fat, making them very nutritious and palatable. Dried Calciworms should be fed all year round – particularly in winter and spring, during nesting season.In the wild, birds go out and search for food at daybreak, then spend the rest of the day preening, playing, napping and bathing, before feeding again in the late afternoon and returning to roost.

Feeding fresh food as a supplement for a formulated parrot food is therefore not only good for your parrot’s physical health, but also for their mental health. Parrot Feeding Routine Watercress is also another super parrot food. It’s loaded with vitamin A and K, and birds love the stuff, so make sure you add it to your weekly shopping list! Vegetables Seeds and nuts certainly have their place and they form a significant part of the wild parrot’s diet. They are a good source of protein and a host of minerals including potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc and copper. And continue trading we did! By the afternoon of the day the fire broke out, we’d found temporary premises in Hessle and were up and running.After dogs, cats and rabbits, indoor birds are the UK’s most popular pets. And out of these, parrots, in all their amazing varieties, are often the first choice for people wanting a colourful companion. was our centenary – 100 magnificent years of producing the cleanest and most nutritious bird food on the market. In 1986, Alan’s son, Richard Johnston, joined the business to become the fourth generation of the Johnston family to do so.

And to ensure they stand the test of time, all our bird tables are dipped in a non-toxic, water-based and bird friendly stain, which also gives them a fantastic finish.

The business was set up by George Gilchrist Johnston and Richard Hunter Jeff who, in the early days, specialised in selling peas to pigeon fanciers.

years later, just before the turn of the century, Richard succeeded Alan as managing director. 2001 – Disaster Strikes Again Bird tables come in a range of materials nowadays, but we’re traditionalists so there’s only one material for us – wood.

His uncle, Howard, also worked for us and they ran the company together. 1964 – Incorporation But what if you have a bigger garden? Well, this opens up the possibility of creating a sanctuary just for wild birds where they can feed while you watch from afar. If this is the case, perhaps consider combining a bird table with a feeding station to attract a great number of species. Under Ian’s leadership, we achieved a number of industry firsts. For example, in the mid-70s, we became the first company to ship peas and canary seed in bulk containers from New Zealand and Australia. But worry not! We’ve been making premium wild bird foods and British-made wooden bird tables for more years than we care to remember, so we’ve learned a thing or two in that time.
