Below you’ll find answers to our most commonly asked questions about our ethically sourced products, delivery, and customer care. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team of wildlife enthusiasts is always ready to help.

Our Ethical Wildlife Products

What makes Ark Wildlife products “ethically sourced”?

Every product in our range—from bird feeders to nesting materials—is selected with wildlife welfare and environmental sustainability as our top priorities. We source sustainable woods for our bird tables, use preservative-free formulas in our foods, and ensure our packaging is minimal and recyclable. When you shop with us, you’re supporting a supply chain that respects nature at every step.

Do you offer squirrel-proof bird feeders?

Yes! We understand that squirrels can sometimes dominate feeding stations. Our range includes specially designed squirrel-proof feeders and feeder stations that allow birds to feed in peace while deterring larger visitors. Look for products in our “Bird Feeder Stations & Poles” and “Easy-Clean Bird Feeders” categories.

What’s the difference between your various bird seed mixes?

We offer a variety of seed mixes tailored to different bird species and nutritional needs. Our Bird Seed Mixes are general blends that attract a wide variety of garden birds, while our Badger Food and Duck & Swan Food are specially formulated for those animals. For convenience, we also offer Bird Food Bundles that combine complementary products for a complete feeding solution.

Why should I use a bird box hole protector?

Bird box hole protectors are essential for preventing predators (like squirrels or larger birds) from enlarging the entrance hole and accessing eggs or chicks. Our protectors are made from durable, sustainable materials and help ensure nesting birds remain safe throughout the breeding season.

Ordering & Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, and JCB. We also accept payments through PayPal for added convenience and security. All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted channels to protect your information.

Is my payment information secure?

Absolutely. We use industry-standard SSL encryption to protect all your personal and payment information. We never store your complete payment details on our servers. Your financial security is as important to us as the wellbeing of the wildlife we serve.

Do you offer any discounts or special offers?
