Good value for money birds love them can’t keep up with how fast they eat them
This is a really good bird food.
The food comes in a cardboard box and inside the box there are 16 bags with 12 suet balls in each.
This means that there are 192 suet balls in the box.
Also 16 separate bags means that you can keep the unused food fresh for longer.
I personally put 3-4 balls in the bird feeder so these 192 balls will last really long.
The food seems to be good quality as the bird like it.
The price of the food is 23.99 at the moment, which is a really good price for so many suet balls.
Hopefully my review was Helpful for you.
All the garden birds seemed to love these myself I loved them for the fact they don’t come on netting. So no having to go and pick up any of the green nets that usually get left behind when they are in them.
They don’t crumble and no bits seem to come away from any of them until the birds peck into them.
With them being all wrapped in bags keeps them all fresher and easier to store I found.
The birds didn’t seem to have any issues with these at all apart from coming to the window when the suet ball feeder is empty to ask for more. Such a lot making these great value for money compared to buying small bags that sometimes just crumble so easily.
Comes altogether in a cardboard box. Inside you get 16 packets, each containing 12 suet balls, 192 balls in total. Handy they are in lots of bags, ensuring they stay fresher for longer. They have a really long best before date to them. A heavy weight of 14.4kg ao be careful when lifting the box. All of them came whole, no damaged or broken ones at all. The balls are a good size 5cm in diameter and fit easily into the feeders we have or can simply just be placed in the garden or on a table. Made with 100% natural and nutritious ingredients for birds to consume. Packed full of calories, energy and nutrients to keep wild birds nourished during every season throughout the year. No waste at all, every part can be eaten. Perfect to attract and get a variety of birds to visit your garden.
Fat balls are a firm favourite on my feeders. This box offers superb value and will certainly last quite a while.
The ball is bigger but harder compared to the ones we regularly buy and when put together with the others we have, the birds prefer the softer ones and it doesn’t disintegrate in a miserable wet and windy day. There are little pecks here and there but I guess this just look new to them. Really good value compared to buying a bag each time.
Difficult to review an item that you don’t taste yourself but the birds appear to be more than happy. I have had other brands before and in some cases have ended up throwing unwanted fat balls away. These however seem very popular with my feathered friends and can’t keep away from them.
When they arrived I was very surprised by the sheer weight of the box. Great value and appear to be good quality.
This is a lot of fat balls!
Realistically you would need several feeders/a large garden or a neighbour to go halves with!
Great value but perhaps an option of smaller quantities would be good……
These looked good, similar to my usual brand that wasn’t available. Birds – mostly spurdies (sparrows) – like them. They do not fall apart easily, but they are physically slightly smaller than our normal brand, weigh 75g instead of 90g (but 192 not the usual 150, which more than makes up for the size) Also each packet is a plastic bag, hence 4 stars instead of 5.
A large supply of fat balls for the birds.
A heavy box so take cake when lifting.
4 fit into my new squirrel proof fat ball holder.
Waiting to see how many birds this attracts.
This is a brilliant value box of fat balls for a really good price.
Im normally buy fat balls for our back garden in tubs of 50, but the fact that these come packaged in batches of 12 means that we’ll get much better value out of them (the tubs contents tend to dry out and break up as you reach the bottom).
I’ve made quite a few fat ball holders out of chicken wire cut to appropriate lengths, fastened into cylinders using cable ties, and then hung from banches of trees.
The blue tits, great tits and coal tits that frequent our garden love them, and you can’t for a better endorement than that!
These basic suet fat balls are made with some cereal, selected seeds, minerals and tallow. Looks like some sunflower seeds but the packaging doesn’t say much more. The balls aren’t too hard for the birds to peck at. They fit standard feeders and can be crumbled onto bird tables.
Great size fat balls fit in the bird feeders in my garden perfectly.
A great bargain to buy in bulk I go through loads of these in the summer and this selection of nearly 200 should last out the full summer thankfully.
The birds absolutely love these and flock to the birdfeeders when they are out.
Each packet only has 12 balls in so your not opening all of them in one go and will keep them fresh.
Both my mom and my nan love feeding the birds. We get sparrows and black birds and even robins come into our garden so its always nice to have some food out for them. These fat balls are excellent quality, and I couldn’t believe the amount you receive in this box. The box was very heavy, and rightly so as it contained 192 fat balls, which is more than enough to keep the birds happy. We divided them between us and tested them outside. It is safe to say that the birds love them. We have bought many suet blocks and balls over the years and these are among the best. They are high quality and contain many nutrients to keep the birds happy and healthy, especially during the colder months. They are well packaged and will last a very long while to come. I highly recommend this pack. 5*
Great value for the birds, having delivered to the house is great, but it is really heavy at over 14kilograms in weight.
The garden birds really enjoy them and they are handily in easy to use packs.
I feel this box offers excellent value for money. There’s a years supply here for our garden and the use by date equals that, Feb 23, ideal.
These arrived well packaged and looking through the box, all in perfect condition, no broken or soft balls.
So far the birds seem to go for these. So much appreciated by the wildlife here.
We have had a few showers of rain since placing these up and they haven’t melted away so they’re nice and sturdy / robust.
These fat balls arrived in a big cardboard box.
There is 16 packs each containing 12 fat balls in the box which is great as means buying them in bulk like this they are still going to stay fresh for the birds, ones I’ve bought in the past have been loose in the box and the tend to spoil over time.
We have a variety of bird visitors to our garden and all of them enjoy these fat balls! – starlings, sparrows blue tits etc.
It’s so important to feed the bird especially over winter and spring so these fat balls are perfect for giving them an extra boost when they are getting ready for the breading season!
I get through mountains of fat balls and have learned that not all fat balls are created equal. You very much tend to get what you pay for. If they’re cheap, there’s a very good chance the birds won’t touch them.
These are a good compromise between price and quality and – most importantly – my diners seem to like them. They’d been ignoring the last ones I put out for them, but within half an hour of putting some of these out, the blue tits were laying into them.
I don’t normally approve of ‘extra’ packaging, but these come in bags of 12 and in this case I think it’s a great idea because it will help keep the fat balls fresher for longer.
Very happy. Recommended.
These fat balls are better quality than the ones we had been getting for a few reasons. First of all, they are bigger, they are proper round ones, not oval like some and they are a decent size. They are compressed well, and they don’t wash away with rain, there is more goodness in them for the birds. They arrive in much better condition as they are packaged in multiples of 12, not all loose in a big sack so you don’t get a lot of crumbles. As for flavour I don’t know personally but the bird feeding station was busy today. At a little over 11p per fat ball they are very good value.
We get a reasonable selection of fairly everyday birds in our garden, and while other seed mixes seem to attract pretty much every one, so far it’s been interesting to see that these suet balls are a bit hit-and-miss. We get blue tits on our other bird feeder regularly, but I’ve yet to catch them on this, and the pigeons and blackbirds have ignored it thus far. The sparrows, however, seem to be happy to cluster around it voraciously and aggressively.
I’m guessing, but perhaps that has something to do with the relatively sticky texture of each sphere. There’s a gluey quality to it, and even when pecked, it sticks together- like suet, basically- instead of crumbling into smaller pieces that might be easier to take.
A friend of ours recommended suet feed as being a sure-fire hit for getting the birds to the garden, but so far these balls don’t seem to have been any more of a hit than the seed mix we’re feeding them at the other end of the garden. But they are at least attracting some attention- in the past we’ve bought some pound-shop bird food options that have ended up rotting to nothing because the birds were absolutely not interested at all, and at least that’s not what’s happening here.
The balls are provided as a cardboard box full of smaller, individually plastic-wrapped packs. That’s quite convenient for storage, but it does involve slightly more plastic than would ideally have been necessary, since we’ll be using all of these at home.
On the birds’ behalf (sort of), I think they might describe this as “OK” rather than a treat. The price for the whole box is also more “OK” than a bargain. The large box will last a while, but that’s not necessarily a good thing if the birds are fussy about whether to eat it, instead of it acting like a delicious and satisfying beacon for the bird life all around.
Good quality and value..
Happy birds, happy human
Would recommend
High energy fat food bird balls, very good value for money. Get so many in the box. Should last all year. Seen few birds nibbling on it. I think they like it. Seems to be good quality and doesn’t crumble.
Good value for money, nice size fits the feeder without having to try and squeeze them in very sturdy didn’t crumble when handling. Been in the feeder for 6hrs now and are about gone the birds in my garden love them would highly recommend.
This is a huge amount of food for garden birds and great value for money.
This arrived very well packaged, with packets of food balls tightly boxed up, and the amount is impressive.
The food balls can be put out in purpose built containers, or just placed around the garden – we crumbled them up doing this though and spread it out a bit so more birds could see it and feed rather than fighting over one food ball!
The birds seem to love them already!
Really well made, packed full of everything garden birds needs, especially when food it more scarce in winter months!
These came in a fairly compact supplier-provided box that was splitting apart under the weight of the contents, which made it quite difficult to handle. Inside, the fat balls come in more manageable packets of 12. I’ve bought fat balls in bulk before, but not had them in packets. It’s less messy, but does involve a fair bit of extra plastic wrap.
The acid test of success for these is: will they attract wildlife?
They certainly do — and a pretty broad spectrum of bird sizes ranging from wrens, via sparrows, chaffinches, blackbirds, and collared doves up to jackdaws, rooks and wood pigeons. These have also met with approval from the squirrels!
Harvest Suet Fat Balls for Wild Birds.
You get 192 High Energy Bird Food Balls for your bird Feeders you get 16 packs in total and each pack contains 12 balls that works out at less than 1.50 per pack which in my opinion is Amazing Value for money.
Please note that package weighs around 14.4KG which is quite heavy.
Great value for money, we spend loads on feeding the birds, it seems the longer you do it for the more birds that come to feed. This lot of fat balls is ideal, there are nearly 200 fat balls so for the price which is delivered it’s great value and also much easier than lugging them all home from the town. And the the birds love em!
I always feed the wildlife in the garden with a good selection of assorted foods to attract many different species, I use a combination of peanuts, sunflower hearts, mealworms, seeds & suet.
These suet balls are a definite hit with the blackbirds, tits & smaller songbirds, I watched a blackbird feeding on these for so long I thought it had taken up residence on my suet feeder!
I would normally buy my suet from Wilko’s in a big plastic tub containing 50 suet balls for 5.00 which would usually last a few months, these however come in sealed packs of 12, ensuring they stay fresh for as long as possible.
As this pack is much bigger it also means it will last me much longer, saving me time by not having to frequently reorder & also reducing waste from packaging to help the environment.
Wow…. Unbelievable value for nearly 200 fat balls.
You get 192 fat balls divided into 16 bags of 12 balls for the price.
We have 2 bird feeders (cage type) which will hold these balls perfectly.
We love feeding the birds and they absolutely love fat balls.
They contain a lot of goodness to sustain birds throughout the seasons and more so particularly in winter when they’re food sources tend to diminish.
I normally buy fat balls from local stores but often find the balls are dry and breaking apart and price wise always seems more expensive.
These look good quality and not dry at all. Every bag I inspected I couldn’t find 1 ball broken apart!
They have about 1 year until their best before date ends.
We only have 2 feeders which will carry about 4 balls each and the birds tend to eat these in about 4 or 5 days so might have to get another couple of feeders.
It’s always nice to lend nature an helping hand and these will ensure we get some lovely birds attracted to our garden which will also help us to educate our son on wildlife and how we can conserve and help with nature.
Hes always been fascinated with birds and hopefully we get some rarer birds visiting over the coming months.
Great value fat balls which is fantastic value for the price.
This is a mega box of fat balls for the birds. I cannot believe that a pack of 192 fat balls of such good quality are offered for sale at just 21.99. I know fat balls are not the most expensive of bird food items but this is very inexpensive in comparison to what you pay in the large pet stores.
I filled the feeder with four of these before I went out and when I came home this afternoon these had been very well received by the bird population in my garden. Five stars for price, quality and thumbs up from my birds.
