Bucktons bird and poultry food
Bucktons is a long-established UK bird food brand, making seed mixes, pellets and conditioners for cage birds, pigeons, poultry and wild garden birds. We stock a selection from across that range rather than every product they make. If you keep budgies, canaries, parrots, racing pigeons or laying hens, there is very likely a Bucktons product built specifically for them.
What Bucktons make
Bucktons has been producing bird and poultry feed for a long time, and the range reflects that breadth. Seed mixes and pellets are formulated separately for budgies, canaries, cockatiels and parrots, rather than sold as one generic seed mix for every species, because different birds need different ratios of seed, grain and protein.
The range also covers pigeon fanciers and smallholders keeping poultry, with conditioning tonics, breeding and moulting feeds for pigeons, and layer pellets and mixes for hens. That is a wider spread than most bird food brands attempt, and it is part of why the name comes up so often when people search for where to buy a specific product.
What we stock, and who it suits
Our range includes Bucktons seed and pellet mixes for cage birds, suet-based feed for garden birds, and pigeon and poultry conditioners. We stock a selection from the wider Bucktons catalogue rather than everything they produce, and what is shown in the grid above is what is currently available to order.
This is a sensible everyday choice for anyone feeding a cage bird, garden bird or backyard flock who wants a species-specific mix rather than a single all-purpose bag. As with any feed, what suits your bird best depends on the species and life stage rather than the brand name on the packet.

Common questions
- Is Bucktons a good bird food brand?
- Bucktons has been making bird and poultry feed for a long time and covers a wide range of species with dedicated mixes, from budgies and canaries to pigeons and laying hens. Whether a specific product suits your bird depends on the species and what else is in their diet, rather than the brand alone.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the whole Bucktons range?
- No, we stock a selection from across the Bucktons catalogue rather than every product they make. What is shown in the grid above reflects what we currently have available to order, and that can change as stock does.
- Can I feed the same Bucktons mix to different bird species?
- It's better not to. Bucktons formulate separate mixes for budgies, canaries, parrots and other species because their nutritional needs differ, so a seed mix built for one bird is not automatically right for another. Check the packet for the species it is intended for.
- Do Bucktons make food for garden birds as well as cage birds?
- Yes, the range includes suet-based products aimed at wild garden birds alongside the seed and pellet mixes made for cage birds, pigeons and poultry. They are different product lines formulated for different feeding situations, so check which one you need before buying.
- How do I know which Bucktons product is right for my bird?
- Check the species listed on the pack; Bucktons formulate separate mixes for budgies, canaries, parrots, pigeons and poultry rather than one generic product, and matching the right one to your bird's actual species and life stage makes a bigger difference than any other factor.
