Sultanas / Raisins / Currants are an excellent food source for both fruit eating and softbill birds such as blackbirds, and wildlife such as hedgehogs, badgers and squirrels as they are high in natural sugars and vitamins. They are especially valuable in late winter and spring when natural fruits are difficult to find.
Sultanas / Raisins / Currants can be fed from bird tables or the ground and can be made even more attractive by soaking overnight in a little water to plump them up.
Sultanas / Raisins / Currants are dried white grapes but from seedless varieties. They are golden in color and tend to be plumper, sweeter and juicier than raisins.
Customer Notice
If fed on the ground care must be taken to prevent dogs and cats eating them as sultanas can lead to serious kidney damage.
