Founded in 1987, Vivara has been helping people turn their gardens into thriving havens for wildlife for almost 40 years. What started as a passion for supporting garden birds has grown into Europe’s leading specialist in wildlife products, trusted by customers, conservation partners and retailers across the continent.
Today, our products are sold online and in stores throughout Europe, and we are proud to be recognised as a market leader in quality, innovation and impact.
Biodiversity is essential for healthy ecosystems, yet it’s under increasing pressure. Wildlife is losing space, food sources and safe nesting areas.
We believe the future of bird protection starts at home. Gardens, balconies and urban spaces are becoming increasingly important refuges for wildlife.
Our vision is simple but ambitious: To create a Europe where people and wildlife coexist in balance, where every outdoor space can contribute to biodiversity.
We see the future of bird protection as:
We inspire every Northern European citizen to transform their garden or balcony into a paradise for wildlife.
By making it simple, effective and rewarding to support birds, insects and small mammals, we help create safe habitats, support breeding success and bring nature back where it belongs. Every product is designed to:
When you choose Vivara, you’re not simply buying bird food or a nest box. You’re supporting habitat protection, ecosystem restoration and safer breeding spaces across Europe.
Vivara was founded with one clear belief: if you truly understand wildlife, you can properly help it.
From day one, we have focused on studying how birds, hedgehogs, squirrels, bats and insects eat, nest and behave. That scientific foundation still drives everything we do. Over the decades, we have expanded our range, refined our expertise and built long-term partnerships with leading conservation organisations.
The result? Practical, effective products that make a measurable difference, not just in gardens, but in ecosystems.
We work closely with more than 25 conservation partners across Europe including the National Trust, NABU and Vogelbescherming. Our range includes over 500 products endorsed by nature conservation organisations, and every year we donate €1.2 million to nature restoration and biodiversity projects. Hence with every product you purchase for your garden or balcony, you help create a richer, more vibrant natural world, close to home and far beyond.
Our development process is rigorous:
This is not guesswork. This is expertise in action.
Unlike many brands, we develop and manufacture most of our products ourselves in our own European production facilities.
This allows us to maintain full control over quality, sustainability and ethical standards.
At the heart of everything we do is care for wildlife and joy for the people who welcome it into their gardens.
There’s something deeply joyful about watching a robin claim a nest box, seeing fledglings take their first flight, or noticing more species visit your feeder each season. These small moments connect us to nature in a powerful way.
We design our products not only to protect wildlife, but to create those moments of wonder. Because helping nature should feel meaningful, rewarding and put a smile on your face.
With our birdhouses, feeders and insect hotels, we bring that magic straight to your garden or balcony, creating a space where wildlife feels safe and welcome, and return again and again, giving you joy every day.
Vivara is a movement towards stronger biodiversity, healthier ecosystems and more vibrant gardens.
When you choose Vivara, you choose trusted expertise, thoughtful responsibility and measurable impact, in your own outdoor space and far beyond it.

Yes. The wood used in our products comes from FSC®-certified sources.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) certification ensures that forests are managed in a way that protects biodiversity, wildlife habitats and local communities.
By choosing sustainably sourced wood, we make sure that supporting birds and wildlife in your garden also helps protect forests and ecosystems for the future.
We’re continuously working to reduce our environmental footprint and packaging is a big part of that.
Wherever possible, we are reducing plastic, switching to recyclable materials and optimising packaging sizes to minimise waste. We’re also exploring innovative packaging solutions that protect products while using fewer resources.
Our goal is simple: less unnecessary packaging, more focus on nature.
Yes. Many of our bird food products are developed and produced in-house.
This allows us to carefully control ingredient quality, nutritional value and sustainability. Our mixes are designed by wildlife experts and specifically formulated for the needs of wild birds and other garden wildlife, providing the energy, protein and nutrients they need throughout the year.
Producing in-house also means we can maintain high standards while constantly improving our recipes.
Vivara is part of the CJ Wildlife family. While Vivara is our consumer brand, CJ Wildlife is our research and development powerhouse. All our bird food and habitats are developed by the expert ornithologists and biologists at CJ Wildlife to ensure they meet the highest nutritional and safety standards for garden wildlife.
Most of our CJ Birdfood products are manufactured in our own dedicated farm and production facilities in Europe (including the UK, Germany and the Netherlands). This "in-house" approach allows us to have total control over the sourcing of seeds and the quality of the final product, from the field to your feeder.
Yes, safety is our top priority. All Birdfood ingredients, especially peanuts, undergo rigorous laboratory testing for Aflatoxins (mould toxins that are fatal to birds). We also ensure our seed mixes are cleaned to remove dust and debris, which can cause respiratory issues in small birds.
Yes, we offer many of our most popular Vivara Birdfood mixes and seeds in bulk sizes (up to 20kg). Buying in bulk is not only more cost-effective for you but also more sustainable, as it reduces the amount of packaging material used per kilogram of food.
