What is the BSA?
The BSA is a non-profit making association of the UK's leading suppliers of wild bird care products. Our aim is to promote best practice among Association Members to ensure that only safe and nutritious products are supplied by them to our wild bird population.

How do we do this?
By liaising closely with leading ornithological and scientific bodies, such as the British Trust for Ornithology, we keep Association Members fully up-to-date with all issues concerning wild birds to ensure that consumers have the best and safest products and the most accurate information. As part of this ongoing process, we set Standards for the many food and other products that are destined for consumption and use by our Wild Birds.

How do we make sure our Members are conforming to these standards?
The standards, which Member Companies are required to meet, are enforced by the BSA Standards Officer who makes random checks on Members' products. Should any product not meet the BSA's appropriate Standard, the Member concerned will be asked to take immediate corrective action. Failure to do so will result in termination of membership and consequent removal of the BSA logo from all the offending Member's products.


The BSA Logo - your sign of safety and quality.
BSA Members are committed to helping wild birds. By supplying you with quality products and information that is sound, up-to-date and accurate, we can help you take better care of your garden birds.



Look out for the BSA logo whenever you buy bird foods, feeders, bird tables or nest boxes.
