You’re already in the garden, so why not add a bit of birdwatching to your routine? 🌿👀

Whether it’s topping up the feeder, watching sunbirds on the aloes, or spotting something new in the shrubs, a garden can be the perfect place to start your birding journey.

Gloves, trowel, birdseed, binoculars and a cap. Consider these your new favourite gardening and birding combo.

With that shimmering green sheen, bright red bill, and loud cackling call, the Green Wood Hoopoe is hard to miss, especially when the whole flock gets chatting.

Often seen bouncing along tree trunks or probing into bark for insects, they’re one of the most entertaining visitors you’ll spot in a garden or woodland edge. 💚

Have you heard their call or seen that flash of iridescent green? Let us know if they’ve visited your garden.

When the days get colder and food gets harder to find, birds need a little extra fuel to keep warm and stay active. Westerman’s Wild Bird Winter Seed Mix is made just for that with energy-rich millet, sorghum, crushed maize, suet, and a powerful protein boost from soldier fly larvae.

Top up your feeder and give your garden birds the winter boost they need:

Fluffy, funky, and full of character. This Speckled Mousebird snapped by .barnard stole our hearts this month. Just look at that mohawk! 💙

A lot, actually. The shape of the beak gives you clues about what each bird loves to eat. Take a closer look at these South African favourites.

This beauty is more than just a pretty face and proudly holds the title of KwaZulu-Natal’s provincial bird. Feeding mostly on fruit, the Purple-crested Turaco helps spread seeds and keeps our forests thriving. 💜

Fun fact, their feathers contain a rare pigment that gives them that incredible purple-green glow.

Have you spotted one in your garden or on a walk? 🌿

It started with a competition. We hid collectable Wild Bird Cards inside packs of Westerman’s Wild Bird Seed with different categories to collect like Water Birds, Mountain Birds, Inland Birds and more. There was even a Golden Bird hidden out there, with a big prize for the lucky finder.

Every image on these cards was taken by South African photographers, and the response was incredible. People were trading, collecting, and asking us where they could get more. So we listened.

Now, for the first time, you can buy our First Edition Wild Bird Card collection at selected stores where Westerman’s is sold.

Each card features a real South African bird and includes fun facts and scores for categories like wingspan, weight, rarity and even cuteness. Perfect for playing with friends or starting your own collection.

Will you collect them all? 🐦🃏
