If you have a single bird, odds are you don’t need to purchase bulk bird food. Birds are warm blooded, but their tiny bodies don’t require nearly the amount of fuel that a dog or cat does. However, the amount of food a dozen birds can go through is impressive. If you’re buying tiny bags of food, not only are you likely going to the store every couple days, you’re paying way more for your food than you really need to.
Buying bulk bird food won’t only save time; it can save a lot of money as well. If a hypothetical 1 lb bag of bird food for seven dollars; and that bag lasts three days, you’d be spending $847 a year on bird food. If a fifty pound bag lasts you five months and costs $150 dollars from a farm wholesaler, you’d only be spending $360 a year on food, less than half of what you’d spend buying it 1 pound at a time! Both of those are figures you could reasonably expect to find shopping around, and they illustrate just how much you save by buying in bulk.
The only thing you need to be careful of when looking at bulk bird food is spoilage. Since bird food is primarily made up of seeds, it can go bad. Generally it takes more than a year for this to occur, but if you’ve got one bird that goes through a pound of feed a month, you probably won’t get through an entire 50 pound bag of feed before it spoils. Even so, it may be cheaper to buy the large bag, you should crunch the numbers yourself before you decide.
