How to use

Cut the bag along the line indicated and pour the peanuts into a mesh peanut feeder, on to a bird table, or scatter on a ground-feeding tray. Position near cover such as a hedge or shrub so birds can retreat quickly from predators. Top up as the peanuts are eaten and replace any that become wet, mouldy or stale.

Feeding tips

• Use a mesh peanut feeder in spring and summer so that adults do not feed whole peanuts to young chicks.
• Whole peanuts are large - always offer them in a mesh feeder with appropriately sized holes.
• Provide a fresh source of water nearby for drinking and bathing.
• Clean bird tables and feeders regularly with a wildlife-safe disinfectant.
• Avoid placing food where cats can ambush feeding birds.

FAQs

Which birds eat peanuts?
Tits, greenfinches, sparrows, nuthatches, great spotted woodpeckers and siskins are all regular visitors to peanut feeders. Ground-feeding peanuts can also attract robins, dunnocks and blackbirds.

Can I feed peanuts all year round?
Yes, although in spring and summer it is important to offer peanuts in a mesh feeder rather than loose on a table. Whole peanuts can choke young chicks if adults carry them back to the nest, so mesh feeders prevent this risk.

Why do I need a mesh peanut feeder?
Mesh feeders hold the peanuts securely and prevent large quantities being taken at once. They also stop whole peanuts from being dropped into the nest by parent birds feeding chicks.

How do I keep peanuts fresh?
Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once on a feeder or table, replace any that become damp, mouldy or stale. Peanuts for wild bird feeding should be free from salt, sugar and oils.

Can I scatter peanuts on the ground?
Yes - scattering on a ground-feeding tray is a good way to attract ground-feeding species. Use a small amount at a time and replace any that become wet or mouldy.

Are these peanuts safe for birds?
Yes. These are premium whole peanuts suitable for wild bird feeding. They contain no added salt, flavouring or oils and are packed in the United Kingdom.
