Winter begins now — not with the first frost. For wild birds in the garden that means fewer natural insects, shorter days and a rising need for energy to be ready for the cold season.

Why autumn is decisive

As temperatures drop, many insects disappear from the garden — exactly the food source wild birds could rely on all summer. At the same time, some species have to build up fat reserves for migration or for the winter.

A reliable, energy-rich feeding station can make a real difference during this transitional period.

How to tell that help is needed

Not every garden needs a feeding station straight away — but certain signs suggest it is time to start.

⚠️ Look out for: conspicuously little bird activity in the garden, birds searching intensively for food, visibly thinner or exhausted-looking birds at known resting spots.

How to help properly

According to its product description, our insect mix of black soldier fly and mealworm is expressly suitable for wild birds — a natural, energy-rich addition to classic bird feed.

Source of energy
Insect mix BSFL & mealworm

A 50/50 blend with high-quality protein and healthy fats — ideal for autumn feeding.

Extra nutrients
Vitamins & minerals

B vitamins, vitamin A as well as calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium provide additional support.

💚 Place the feeding station somewhere sheltered and hard for cats to reach, and clean it regularly to prevent disease.

The insect mix compared

Plain grain feed is a good foundation — but it does not supply the high-quality animal protein wild birds additionally need in autumn.

Criterion Insect mix BSFL & mealworm Plain grain feed
Protein source ✓ High-quality animal protein – Mostly plant-based
Fats ✓ Healthy omega-3 & -6 fatty acids – Usually low in fat
Suitable for ✓ Wild birds, poultry & more – Standard feed, little variety

Note: the insect mix is a complementary feed — ideal as an addition to classic bird feed.

Looking after the feeding station properly

A good feeding station is more than just food — cleanliness and a reliable supply make the difference.

🧼Clean regularlyKeep feeding stations clean to prevent disease.
💧Provide waterA shallow dish of fresh water is the ideal companion to the feeder.
🔁Feed consistentlyOnce you have started, do not stop abruptly.
Conclusion

Autumn is the right moment to give wild birds targeted support in the garden — with a clean feeding station and a natural, protein-rich supplement.

Our insect mix delivers exactly the energy that is needed now.
