Who is stealing Wild Bird Care sales?
 

Wild Bird Care sales were static for a second week as the summer holidays continued.  Since Springwatch, Wild bird care volumes in the GTN Bestsellers Top 50 chart have been consistently 20% down on last year.  Either someone else is stealing sales form garden centres or there is just less garden feeding going on.

  • Jacobi Jayne Rowena's Hedgehog Mix 500g is proving popular climbing 24 places up the chart to No 23.
  • Gardman Seed Mix, 4kg pack size, was the highest chart re-entry at No 25.
  • Tom Chambers Sunflower Hearts, 2.5kg, moved up 3 places to No 15.
