How to use them in boilies
Birdfood blends are compound mixes made for songbirds: egg biscuit, red egg biscuit, cod liver oil birdfood and egg and niger seed blends. They are a classic carp ingredient because they are sweet, finely ground, digestible and very easy to roll.
Birdfood typically makes up 10 to 20 % of the dry mix and can form a large part of a birdfood-based bait. It softens and opens the texture, so pair it with semolina, milk powder or gluten if you need harder baits. Red egg biscuit adds natural colour; cod liver oil and niger seed blends bring oil and a stronger smell, which suits autumn mixes.
