Brambles Floating Swan & Duck Food for Wildfowl
Description
Brambles Pet & Wildlife Floating Swan & Duck Food
Brambles Floating Swan & Duck Food is a complementary food specially formulated to give the right balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals for swans and ducks. It is also suitable for geese, moorhens and coots, so it is best for anyone feeding mixed wildfowl on a garden pond, farm lake, river or canal.
The pellets float on the surface, so birds feed naturally from the water rather than grubbing through sunken food, and you can see exactly how much has been eaten. It is recommended by wildlife rescues and is a more considered choice than feeding bread at the waterside.

- Feed as a complementary food alongside the natural forage the birds find for themselves.
- Remove any uneaten pellets from the bank and reseal the bag after each use.
- Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container to keep the pellets dry.
FAQ
Is this food only for swans and ducks?
No. It is formulated for swans and ducks but is also suitable for geese, moorhens and coots, so it works well where several species share the same water.
Do the pellets really float?
Yes. The pellets are designed to stay on the surface of the water, which lets birds feed naturally and helps you see how much has been taken.
Is this better than feeding bread?
It is a complementary food formulated to give the right balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, whereas bread offers little nutritional value to wildfowl.
How much should I feed?
Offer only as much as the birds will clear in one visit. It is a complementary food, so it is fed alongside natural forage rather than as a complete diet.
Can I use it on a garden pond as well as a lake?
Yes. It suits garden ponds, estate lakes, rivers and canals, and is popular with smallholders and wildlife volunteers.
How should I store it?
Keep the bag sealed or decant into an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight so the pellets stay dry and intact.
