National Trust Duck & Swan Blend 1.25kg

Feeding ducks and swans is a much-loved British pastime and a wonderful activity to enjoy with children, so off to the lakes we go!

This nutrient-rich duck and swan food has been specially formulated to provide wildfowl with a natural, balanced diet, making it a far healthier alternative to bread, which is actually not healthy for wildfowl at all.

Made with high-quality ingredients including wheat, barley, linseed and dried grass pellets, this tasty mix delivers the essential nutrients ducks and swans need to stay healthy, active and thriving. Expertly crafted to mirror a wildfowl’s natural diet, it supports digestion and overall wellbeing while helping to avoid the problems associated with feeding unsuitable foods.

Sharing a bag of proper wildfowl food is a simple way to teach children about caring for nature, turning a fun family outing into a meaningful wildlife-friendly experience. Enjoy the pleasure of watching ducks and swans feed happily on food designed especially for them.

National Trust branded bird feed is considered higher quality than budget alternatives due to its formulation for maximum nutrition, lack of filler ingredients, and ethical sourcing. While a cheaper bag from another retailer may seem like a better deal, it often contains high levels of filler grains that birds rarely eat, leading to waste and more frequent, expensive restocking. 

All foods in the National Trust Garden Wildlife Range are beautifully presented in National Trust branded packaging, making them a thoughtful gift for nature lovers of all ages.

A simple way to enjoy a timeless tradition while caring for wildlife responsibly.
