Five great reasons to visit Countrywide Bird Food at PATS

As one of the longest-established bird food manufacturers gets set for PATS 2025, we look at why you should make Countrywide Bird Food’s stand (G59) one of your first stops at the show.

 

1. NEW EYE-CATCHING BIRD SEED MIXES

Countrywide, part of Albert E James, will be showcasing its new, eye-catching wild bird and aviary bird seed mixes. Visitors will be able to view Countrywide’s impressive designs, including eight wild bird mixes and a wide range of popular indoor and aviary mixes, in a variety of sizes.

 

With strong shelf-appeal, they’re perfect for retailers looking to offer their customers something fresh and different.


2. INTRODUCTORY OFFERS & 6 MONTHS’ EXTENDED CREDIT

Visitors can take advantage of special introductory offers, including extra savings and six months’ extended credit.

Despite increases in costs, Countrywide is keeping prices low for the 2026 season. In today’s challenging market, they remain committed to supporting retail partners and delivering great value for customers. More than ever, you can count on Countrywide to make quality affordable.


3. QUALITY, DUST-FREE, CHAMPION-WINNING MIXES

Used by leading breeders and show winners, the company carefully sources only the finest, natural ingredients. Their expertly formulated blends are full of flavour and texture and are designed to cater for the needs of different types of birds.

All seeds undergo a multi-stage cleaning process to remove dust, which can be harmful to birds. Countrywide pride themselves on offering the highest levels of cleanliness and quality, guaranteeing product excellence, whilst also offering great value and service.

4. PRIVATE LABEL OPPORTUNITIES

Interested in own-label? Countrywide has extensive experience in private label ranges, including tailored recipe development and packaging design. They have full control over the entire manufacturing process from their mill near Bristol and decades of experience in selectively blending seeds, grains and oils.  

 


5. HAVE YOUR SAY
PATS is the ideal opportunity to meet the experienced Countrywide team and explore how they can help boost your sales. Countrywide believe strong partnerships with retailers of every size are the key to success. Together, they’ll tailor ranges that work for your business – whatever your needs, Countrywide has the solution!

 

Make the most of your visit at PATS this year and don’t miss Countrywide Bird Food at Stand G59 near the Visitor Lounge.
