Terrible
Fat balls are so hard that even the woodpeckers struggle to get into them. Breaking them apart reveals they’re nearly all fat, with hardly any seeds. Even the squirrels won’t touch them. Complete waste of money

Beware seeds oil for birds
Fat balls should have animal fat.. its proven seed oils are not good for animals..
Plastic hazard
Each of the balls is wrapped in plastic mesh. A nightmare for the environment and a danger to birds who can get their claws caught. Won’t be buying again.

Melts in the rain
When is not raining they’re great.
Unfortunately they just turn to mush in the rain and cause a mess.
Almost half in pieces
These are very crumbly and therefore fall apart easily. Opened box to find that about a third of the balls weren't balls anymore and instead were in small pieces at the bottom. Won't be buying again.
Fat balls
The birds do not touch these. Have left some in nets, some out but not eaten. First time I have used these but will have to go back to usual brand this Winter.
Loved by sparrows
The sparrows will eat anything, and they eat these fat balls happily, but tits and other wild birds in my garden do not touch them.

Not great
I'm used to buying these seeds, but I was very disappointed with my last purchase. The seeds were no longer packed in the usual large plastic bag for protection; they were just loose in the box. They were very dry and completely crumbled, but what disgusted me the most was finding animal hair in the balls. I won't be buying this brand again.

Fat balls for birds
A very bad net – the dumplings almost all fall out of the net. I'm not satisfied.

Wild bird feed
The contents were all crumbled and partially broken up. It was impossible to put the mash into the proper containers; I could only scatter it on the ground. I doubt that the two packs I bought were actually packaged, since the product wasn’t in a nylon bag like I usually receive. Products in this condition shouldn’t be supplied.

Crushed balls
The fat balls arrived crushed, all mushy. I managed to save 335 balls, not all of them whole, out of the 400 I bought.

Crumbs
The dumplings were delivered loose in the box. Unfortunately, about half of the delivery was very crumbly.

Fat balls with netting – once again very poorly packaged
I'm really annoyed with the quality of the Lillebro fat balls: the nets are so poorly glued that three quarters of them split open and the balls fall to the ground!

Nothing but junk now
Most of the dumplings don't weigh the stated 90 grams. Plus, there's loads of crumbled bits in the box of 100, probably just to make up the total weight. I've been buying these dumplings for years, but now I've had enough. The quality is just rubbish now.

Change in quality
Whereas until now, these fat balls didn’t last long, the birds don’t want them anymore. Plus, they crumble a lot.

Lillebro fat ball 100-pack
I definitely won’t be ordering this product again. The quality keeps getting worse. With my last order, I had to use a rubber mallet to break up the balls, and even then I had to moisten and mix them with other ingredients so the birds could eat them. It was just dry, rock-hard “sawdust”.

Very disappointed
I’ve been ordering the Lillebro fat balls with nets for many years. I’m very disappointed with the last delivery. With more than half of them, the net doesn’t hold and the balls fall out the bottom really quickly. Looks like I’ll have to find a different brand and supplier.
