About this deal

Wildthings Wildlife Foods have been developed to help British wildlife by complementing natural diets with a nourishing and appetising supplementary food..All of their foods have been trialled extensively with wildlife hospitals for nutrition and palatability. In spring and summer, vegetation is the most important and available dietary element, and swans feed on shoots, grasses, fresh pondweeds, leafy green plants and aquatic vegetation. Grains also provide some key nutrients during the breeding period. If a swan’s usual waters become frozen in winter, it’s likely that they will migrate in search of frost-free open waters. They are also known to rely more on humans for food in winter months. Grazing on nearby fields for leftover crops and grains is another way they survive when water temperatures drop.

Swans are most commonly found in the northern hemisphere, although some species are present in Australia, New Zealand and South America. Their typical habitats are freshwater wetlands, lakes and rivers and saltwater marshes, and naturally, their diet reflects what is available where they live. Any food fed to swans (it’s recommended to offer grains or chopped greens), should be thrown onto the water’s surface so that swans can swallow water when eating. Feeding swans on land is not recommended for environmental reasons as it can leave excess scraps or unwanted food waste on the shore.

How to feed Swans and Ducks

It’s wise to keep a safe distance from any swan, let alone a hungry one. You can offer natural foods, such as chopped greens, corn, peas or grains, and ensure that it has access to water. If it looks unwell or in poor condition, the best thing to do is seek advice from a local wildlife refuge. Can swans eat bread?

Our mission is to produce the best, high-quality wildlife feed to ensure our gardens stay full of life! We pride ourselves on using 100% natural ingredients so that our wildlife can thrive. Swan habitats are under threat from development, pollution and climate change. These factors can influence the availability of food, and therefore the ability of swans to survive in their traditional breeding and wintering ponds. Read on to learn about how conservation efforts can help swan populations.
