Product Details
Johnston & Jeff Wild Bird No Nets High Energy Fat Balls 50 x 90g
Johnston & Jeff High Energy Fat Balls are made to a tried and tested recipe, formulated to the same exacting standards as their seed mixes. The key ingredient is suet — one of the most concentrated and easily metabolised energy foods for wild birds. It delivers instant energy, and birds love it. With a fat content of 18%, these fat balls are nutritionally correct and contain no cheap fillers, sand, or waste products — just cereals, seeds, and natural minerals.
All Johnston & Jeff fat balls are now supplied without nets to protect wild birds from getting caught in the netting. They are best fed from a fat ball feeder but can also be placed on a bird table or ground feeder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these fat balls sold without nets?
Nets on fat balls pose a serious risk to wild birds — their feet, beaks, and wings can become entangled, causing injury or death. Johnston & Jeff removed nets from all their fat balls to make them safer for garden birds. Always use a proper fat ball feeder or place them on a bird table rather than leaving them in any kind of netting.
Why is suet so good for wild birds?
Suet is an animal fat that is extremely energy-dense and easy for birds to metabolise quickly. It is particularly valuable in cold weather when birds need to maintain their body temperature and burn more calories to survive. A high-suet fat ball provides a rapid energy boost that seeds alone cannot match.
What birds will eat these fat balls?
Fat balls attract a wide range of garden birds including blue tits, great tits, long-tailed tits, starlings, sparrows, robins, and woodpeckers. They are especially popular during autumn and winter when natural food sources are scarce, but can be fed year-round.
How should I feed these fat balls?
These fat balls are best fed from a purpose-made fat ball feeder, which holds them securely and allows birds to cling and feed naturally. They can also be placed on a bird table or ground feeder. Never leave fat balls in plastic netting — always remove any packaging before putting them out.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In warm weather, fat balls can soften — if this happens, refrigerate them briefly before use. Use within the best before date printed on the box.
