Johnston & Jeff, established in 1880, specialized in the manufacturing of high-quality bird foods. Our product range includes blends for wild birds, parrots, parakeets, and aviary birds such as budgies, canaries, and finches.
Since our inception in 1880, Johnston & Jeff has put birds and wildlife firmly at the heart of everything we do. The values that underpin our company are the same today as they’ve always been.
The business was set up selling peas to pigeon fanciers. However, George and Richard soon noticed that miners kept canaries too and spotted an opportunity to supply canary seed and millet seed.
Cleanliness is vital because impurities can be detrimental to bird health. So, to ensure every bag of food that leaves our factory is the cleanest on the market, we developed Our Unique Cleaning Process which involves 10 steps and checks.
As such, we live by the values of a family business. We’re proud of our history and true to our roots – an innovative, British manufacturer that works hard to ensure everything we do is the best it can be.
