Bestpets & JP’s Pet Supplies Supports School With Free Wild Bird Watching Starter Kit
Bestpets and independent retailer JP’s Pet Supplies has been supporting the local community by donating a Wild Bird Watching Starter Kit to Fulwell Infant School Academy.

Bestpets, through its Newcastle depot, asked customers to nominate local primary schools who encourage outdoor activities to receive a free Wild Bird Watching Starter Kit.

John Paul Stephenson from JP’s Pet Supplies on Fulwell Road in Sunderland nominated Fulwell Infant School Academy to receive the free kit. He says "I am delighted that, with the help of Bestpets, we have been able to support the local community. Getting school children involved with wildlife and nature can only be a good thing."

The Starter Kit, which includes products from the Bestpets own label range and in addition to products from partner supplier Supa Petcare, will allow children to create a mini-sanctuary within their school from which to attract, observe and learn more about the wild birds in their area.

Mike Bailey, Head of Bestpets says “We know that children are fascinated by nature and recent TV programmes such as the BBC’s Spring Watch, Autumn Watch and Blue Planet has whetted their appetites even further. As the UK’s leading pet wholesaler, Bestpets wanted to make this learning fun and the starter kit, available on request from Bestpets customers, will provide them - and their teachers - with an ideal foundation to build their own Wild Bird Watch area at school. We hope that this will lead to a greater appreciation of the wonders of their environment and catch a glimpse of rare birds as well as increasing their knowledge of popular birds in the wild.”

The Wild Bird Watch Starter kit which includes a nest box, a variety of feeders and a feast of food contains:

1 x Bestpets Premium Wild Bird Feed 20kg             1 x Bestpets Suet Block Berry 8 Pack

1 x Bestpets Suet Block Insect 8 pack                    1 x Supa Dried Mealworms 3 Litre

1 x Supa Seed 12 Inch Feeder                                1 x Supa Suet & Scrap Feeder and Tray

1 x Supa Mealworm Feeder                                     1 x Supa Multi Purpose Nest Box
