Supplementary feed for birds
Claus garden bird food has been specially developed for sensitive softbills and insectivores.
It contains a particularly high proportion of animal proteins with valuable insects as well as nutrient- and vitamin-rich wild seeds and nuts. In times of severe insect decline in nature, it is necessary to support softbills with appropriate year-round feeding. Additionally, granivores also need animal proteins during the breeding and rearing period, which are optimally provided by this food. The food compensates for food shortages during the breeding season and offers young birds better survival chances. It supports territory bonding and allows robins, tits, wrens, redstarts, nightingales, and many other species to become permanently resident in the garden.
Composition:
Cereals (processed cereal flakes)1 , soft and crustaceans 19%2 , seeds 16%, soybean oil 10%, insects 7%, nuts 6%
Analytical constituents:
Crude protein 22%, crude fiber 3%, crude fat 16%, crude ash 6%
Feeding recommendation:
The highly protein-rich garden bird food is indispensable for more sensitive wild bird species from spring to autumn. It is enriched with pure soybean oil and can be fed directly from the package. Place small portions daily in the bird feeder (it is not suitable for silos). Additionally, it is best to scatter garden bird food in protected areas of the garden directly on the ground. This is optimal for bird species that prefer to feed on the ground. It is best to set up several small feeding places near escape options such as trees or shrubs. Please also remember to provide a year-round water source / bird bath. Clean the bird feeder and baths regularly with hot water and a root brush. From November, switch to the more energy-rich Claus winter food. It also contains a high insect content and helps sensitive softbills get through the cold months.
Explanations:
1 Small invertebrate aquatic animals, such as water fleas and tiny freshwater shrimp, have a high protein content and a thin, soft shell. However, they are not biologically classified as insects and must be declared as "soft and crustaceans" according to feed law. They do not have sharp-edged shells.
2 Unsweetened wafers and waffles are deliberately used. Softbills cannot extract energy from cereals. During the baking process, flours are heated with water. This breaks down carbohydrates, and the end product provides very quick energy, as required by the bird's metabolism.
3 Processed high-protein plant products that can also be consumed by insectivores. The proteins they contain complement the amino acid spectrum of the animal components.
