Lidl is selling the cutest Cath Kidston bird feeders for under £5 – they’re a must-have for adding colour to your winter garden

It’s no secret around here that the Ideal Home team are passionate about tending to the wildlife that visits our gardens, especially feeding birds. And right now, Lidl are selling a range of stunning Cath Kidston bird feeders that make the task a whole lot cuter.

If you want to attract birds to a garden, the golden rule is to provide a steady flow of nutritious food for them, especially in winter when supplies are scarce. While bird feeders typically are designed to blend into your garden’s surroundings, Cath Kidston is proving that a splash of colour goes a long way.

Currently on sale, you’ll want to head to your local Lidl as soon as possible to get your hands on one. You know the drill - when they’re gone, they’re gone.

When it comes to bird feeders, I’ll admit I’ve never taken the aesthetics of the feeder into account - practicality has always been more of a priority. From high-tech smart feeders which video your garden birds, to protective caged seed feeders (£15.99 at Robert Dyas) which stop squirrels and other pests from stealing your feed, the majority of feeders are only available in black, greens and greys which blend into the backdrop of your wildlife garden.

Drawing inspiration from the scenes you would spot in a garden, Cath Kidston’s bird feeders are a beautiful example of using bold colour, whilst embracing nature at the same time. Remember, a garden is supposed to be packed with colourful blooms, and these feeders reflect that.

Choose from a striking blue scene depicting bees attending flowers, a floral display on a soft grey background and a playful yellow feeder covered with buzzing bees. These iconic Cath Kidston designs are a sure way to brighten your garden this winter, as well as providing vital nourishment for birds.

It’s a simple hanging peanut feeder, ideal for holding peanuts and other whole nuts. Its mesh stops birds from taking a whole nut in one go, reducing the risk of choking.

It’s also important to mention the impressive price of the feeder. Costing £6.99, or just £4.99 if you have LidlPlus, these are very affordable garden accessories. And because of their inexpensive price tag, I don’t think they’ll be on the shelves for long.

To check if your local store has the bird feeder in stock, you can use the store locator button on the product’s webpage to check stock availability. Alternatively, here are a few more pretty and colourful bird feeders you can shop online.

If there’s one thing gardens need right now, it's some colour. Cath Kidston’s bird feeders will not only brighten your outdoor space, but are also an important tool for maintaining a garden’s ecosystem.
