Product Description
A family run business for over 115 years
A heritage we are proud of
Beginning as a specialist retailer of bird seeds, we have expanded our product range over the years and now offer a comprehensive selection of animal feeds, wild bird foods, dog treats, garden supplies and fishing products.
Our Story
Maltbys' Stores is a pet and garden supplies retailer based in Hull, UK. Since opening in 1904, we have always aimed to provide our customers with the best quality products we can find. Now in our sixth family generation, we are still continuing to look for new ways to provide fantastic products to you and your pets.
We know your animal's needs are very important, which is why we continue to work with our suppliers to find the freshest and best quality products available.
- Specialists in wild bird foods and feeders
- Huge range of natural dog treats and chews
- Fishing pellets, baits, ingredients and liquids
- Garden supplies, including grass seeds
- Huge selection of foods for aviary birds, poultry, pigeons, pond fish and more
At Maltbys' Stores we understand that feeding wild birds is a highly rewarding and entertaining pastime. What's more, with many of our treasured song and garden bird species now sadly in decline, feeding wild birds is more vital than ever in aiding conservation efforts.
We work closely with our suppliers to find the best quality wild bird foods, to keep birds returning to your garden again and again.
We also understand that different wild birds need different nutrition, so we sell a huge range of wild bird seeds and mixes to suit all avian dietary needs.
As one of the biggest UK suppliers of wild bird foods, we receive deliveries on average every 3 weeks or less. This way we can provide you with the freshest possible product we can deliver, retaining the product's natural oils and nutrients and minimizing the potential for mould or toxins
Why Choose Fat Balls?

|
|---|---|---|
What are Fat Balls?Fat balls are a nutritional and high energy supplementary food for wild birds. They are made primarily of suet, a solidified mix of pure animal fats such as lard, which is mixed with seeds and cereals and formed into ball shapes. They are incredibly high in fat content, meaning they can provide much needed sustenance for wild birds, particularly during the winter months. |
How to Use Fat BallsOur fat balls are sold unnetted, which is better for the environment and also prevents birds' feet getting caught during feeding. Although they can be used on feeding tables, we would recommend using a hanging or standing feeder specifically designed for fat balls. Also, during the summer months, we would recommend not hanging your fat balls in direct sunlight. |
A Great Source of EnergySuet is a high-fat foodstuff which is easily metabolised by most wild birds, making fat balls a fantastic choice for a huge range of wild bird species. Bramblings, goldfinches, greenfinches, dunnocks, buntings, chaffinches, house and tree sparrows, song thrushes, linnets, nuthatches and great spotted woodpeckers can all benefit from having fat balls available as a supplement to other seeds and feed mixes. |

Customer reviews
These are well made and a good consistency so they don't crumble apart. I've given them 5/5 for flavour on behalf of the birds as they obviously really like them. They're more expensive than the ones I used to buy in B&M before lockdown, but based on the quality I will probably buy them again. I've decanted them 50 at a time into my original tub so I know there were 150 in the box. Note the box is extremely heavy when delivered!
