List - Which birds have eaten Slåttergubbens food!

Wow! It's absolutely incredible that 80 wild bird species have eaten our organic food! Several of the birds are quite rare as well! Please note that this list is just for fun - it doesn't mean anything for science or conservation.... 

Let's not forget that only about 20 species of birds usually allow themselves to be fed. In Sweden, there are 250 species of birds, 2500 species of wild plants, and nearly 50,000 species of wild insects. Feeding our most common birds with purchased food is just a pleasant activity for ourselves. If we want to do something good for nature, we need to think differently - what can we do with our actions and choices, and how can we create good conditions on the land we manage to achieve a living ecosystem - where birds are a part of that web? 

This list is not intended to show the birds' favorite food - The food mentioned with each species is the first one they were seen eating. (And in some cases, we don't even sell it anymore!) Read more about what birds prefer to eat. 

We would love to add more species to the list! Contact us if you can add any!
