Wild Bird Care suffers because of lack of snow
 

As plant sales soared vs last year the lack of snow had the opposite effect on Wild Bird Care sales which dropped by 27% for the first week of March.

 

That is despite a big increase in footfall and at a time when the birds and other wildlife need feeding most whatever the weather. What are you doing to keep Wild Bird care sales up during the milder March weather we are experiencing?


Highlights were:

  • Westland Peckish Natural Balance 12.75kg was the highest climber, jumping 27 places.
  • Gardman Poppy Feeder With Stem was the highest re-entry at No 5.
  • Gardman Vision Window Feeder was the highest new entry.
