If your local birds could talk (and they didn't mind answering questions from a curious human) we suspect they'd say Topflite energy cakes are one of their favourite backyard treats. Now they are pre-filled in a Topflite cake feeder for ready-to-hang purposes!

Not only are these ready-to-use feeders good looking and great at attracting the local birds - they're also really cost effective. For all of the hours you'll get to enjoy watching your feathered mates this really is a wise investment.

  • A great gift idea
  • Hang in a bird-friendly spot away from predators, up a tree or on a bird table
  • Ideal starter set for those new to feeding wild birds
  • Energy Cake made in New Zealand
  • Individual cakes are now in compostable film

FAQs

Where can commercially compostable packaging be processed in New Zealand?

A number of facilities around New Zealand accept commercially compostable packaging, and the list is growing.

  • Christchurch City Council Organics Processing Plant – Operated by Living Earth
  • Capital Compost – Wellington Southern Landfill
  • Revital - Central North Island including Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki
  • Palmerston North City Council (Awapuni Resource Recovery Park)
  • Hampton Organics – Hampton PARRC - Waikato
  • Envirofert Limited - Auckland & Waikato

An alternative is to find someone locally who makes “hot compost”. In this method of composting, the temperature of the heap rises to 55°C, just like a commercial facility. Our packaging will break down in a well-managed hot compost heap.

Does Energy Food melt in the sun?

No, despite the vegetable fat content, our Wild Bird Energy Food recipe is designed to withstand New Zealand’s harsh sunlight while remaining soft enough for birds’ beaks. For bird-comfort though, they are best hung in a shady spot under a high branch or suspended from a Peka Peka Feeder, where they are sure to last a long summer’s day (if they don’t get eaten first).
