Bestpets and Pet & Pony Supports Local School With Free Wild Bird Watching Starter Kit

Wednesday 14th March 2018

Bestpets and local independent retailer Pet & Pony has been supporting the local community by donating a Wild Bird Watching Starter Kit to Meavy C. of E. Primary School.

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

Andy Furse of Pet & Pony in Yelverton nominated Meavy C. of E. Primary School Primary School to receive the free kit.

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 Winter Watch, Spring 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
