Our Scullcap & Valerian Tablets help to naturally relax your pet, with the active herbs naturally supporting the calming pathways within the nervous system, reducing anxiety without immobilising muscles or causing drowsiness.

Dunnock
(Prunella modularis)

One of my personal favourites mainly due to its beautiful song. This bird is usually quiet and shy, they are also a secretive species.
Dunnocks or some may refer to them as Hedge Sparrows are a pale brown in colour, with an unusual bluish-grey breast which makes them adept at hiding in the shadows of garden trees and hedge rows. Their nervousness has even been noted in some of their regional names such as ‘creepie’, but they burst into life when it comes to defending their territory by alarm calling and wing flicking.

They closely resemble the house sparrow in size and colouring, but without the black mask and can often be seen close to the bird feeder. Dunnocks are very unfussy eaters and use their slender bills to sn**ch out and devour insects form the undergrowth.

Up until recent times, dunnocks were thought to be a very demure bird and were even seen as a model for modesty and constancy in Victorian Britain. However, new discoveries have brought to light the dunnock’s secret life of polygyny. By mating with many males, the female ensures many dunnocks will help her look after her offspring and keep the brood well fed.

DIET

Spiders, worms, spiders and seed.

RECOMMENDED FOOD

The Harrisons Standard Seed Mix is a nice blend that is packed with nutrition to keep all types of wild birds satisfied whatever the weather or season. This relatively cheap option is your perfect feed partner to keep wild birds happy and healthy without breaking the bank.

Chaffinch
(Fringilla coelebs)

Chaffinches are one of the most colourful birds in the British garden. The male’s blue hat, orange-pink breast and white wing flashes can sometimes be startling against the array of browner birds. Females are duller, with grey-brown feathers, but still have the distinctive chaffinch wing bar. The male’s striking plumage, particularly in the winter, make chaffinches a popular subject for wildlife photographers.

Their call is loud and varied but the most commonly recognised one is a blast of ‘pink pink’. This is an inquisitive call and has led to the chaffinch being called the ‘pink twinks’ in some areas of Britain.

A singing male repeats his song 5-6 times per minute to attract a mate; that’s up to 3,000 times a day. Recent studies have shown that chaffinches in difference parts of the UK actually have regional accents, with minute differences in their calls recorded.

DIET

The chaffinch’s tough beak, typical of finches, is good for crunching the seeds from garden feeders, although chaffinches will rarely take food from bird tables. Chaffinches also eat berries and insects depending on the time of year.

RECOMMENDED FOOD

Finches love a mixture of seeds. Harrisons Winter and Spring Energy Booster is highly nutritious, high protein and wonderfully rich which will help all finches through the months of colder weather

Goldfinch
(Carduelis carduelis)

A flock of these vibrant birds is called a ‘charm’, and it’s not hard to see why. Goldfinches are excitable, chattering creatures which often fly together noisily in a swooping, bounding motion. They are, undeniably, a very beautiful bird to look at and one of the most colourful amongst all our garden visitors.

You can often hear their squabbling call before you see them. A goldfinch has a strong beak and a bright red face mask, as well as a pale brown body with vibrant yellow and black wing flashes. It’s because of their beauty and fast-paced song that they were very attractive to Victorians who often kept them as pets in small cages. This fascination ended up leading to a wild goldfinch shortage. Luckily, goldfinches are now back in high numbers, with flocks of dozens at a time often seen at feeding stations.

In days long gone, they were called the thistle finch, relating to their favourite food. Goldfinches’ beaks are specifically designed to work small seeds out of teasels and thistle heads. However, this is reserved for male goldfinches only which have longer, more slender beaks than the female.

DIET

Tree, dandelion and thistle seeds.

RECOMMENDED FOOD

Harrisons Nyger Seed is a fantastic way to bring in goldfinches. This premium nyger seed is highly nutritious and wonderfully rich in oils which are perfect for keeping goldfinch beaks sharp and feathers strong.
