The changing face of Wild Bird care in garden centres
Garden centre Wild Bird and Wild Life sales volumes continue to decline as we move through summer 2021, but the number of suppliers in the sector continues to grow.
Back in 2014 the GTN Chart was dominated by Gardman with only a few Peckish lines from Westland in the Top 50.
In 2019 that had changed so that the Top 50 featured Gardman, Westland Peckish, Tom Chambers and a couple of Jacobi Jayne lines.
This year the number of different supplers in the Wild Bird care Top 50 has reached six with the addition of Henry Bell and the RHS bird food supplied by Agros in Germany.
Then there is the plethora of ‘Own Brand’ wild bird care lines which we can’t include in the GTN Top 50.
Highlights of the week were:
Westland Peckish Complete 2kg + 50% Free is the highest climber of the week, up 26 places to No 9.
Tom Chambers Seed & Nut Mix, 3kg + 50% re-enters the chart at No 12.
Brambles Hedgehog Food 2kg is a new entry at No 49.
