Good Morning Everyone  ,

If like me you’ve been Hooked on the BBC programme springwatch , you may  have been spending some time doing some more research into what the birds we have in our gardens are prefering to eat at this time of year . It is quite a fascinating subject once you look into it . All sort of kitchen scraps can be utilised to feed the birds, Apples that are past their best , cheese, those mixed dried fruits you’ve had since christmas !

We have been selling oodles of suet blocks & mealworms at the moment  , as the parents are frantically busy feeding their babies !! Of course the suet is extremely high energy  , so they would not necessarily be feeding babies with this  , but theirselves , as they will be using up to a third more of their energy while rearing the young chicks.

So, if you’d like to find out a bit more about bird species , follow the link . http://www.rspb.org.uk/

Have fun 🙂

Good Morning ,

I have a very interesting project that i would love some customers to get involved in. I recently read an article in one of my trade magazines about obesity in certain breeds of dogs , in particular Labradors & retreivers . The study wanted to look at wether these breeds have a predisposition to being genetically overweight  , or if “lifestyle” has a bearing on the dogs weight issues .

Basically, the study are looking for dogs who don’t really fit the stereotypical labrador /retreiver who would eat all day & still look for more . They would like the exception to the rule, being the dogs that are not really interested in food , or can eat lots of food and DO NOT appear to put any weight on .

Anyone interested in taking part in this survey please follow the link below.

Good  Luck !!
