Premium Aflatoxin-Tested Peanuts for Wild Birds 25kg

Peanuts for birds

Peanuts are firm favourites with a variety of wild birds including woodpeckers, sparrows, blue tits and siskins. Featuring peanuts in your feeders will ensure that you attract wild birds to your garden. However, it is essential that you choose good quality peanuts.

Wild Bird peanuts

Peanuts are prone to contamination with aflatoxin. This is a powerful liver toxin which can be extremely hazardous for wild birds. You should only invest in premium peanuts and then store them in a cool dry place to prevent the mould growth which can lead to contamination. At Little Peckers our peanuts are sourced only from the world's finest and most reliable producers.

Seasonal Treats for Wild Birds

Peanuts are highly nutritious as they are rich in protein and natural oils. They are a great source of vital calories when food is in short supply and so are ideal for winter feeding.

The cold temperatures during the winter months also mean that mould growth is less likely.

When offering peanuts to wild birds, always use a mesh feeder as it is important that the birds don't take whole peanuts. These can be a choke hazard for small birds and chicks. Extra care is required during the breeding season as if natural food sources are scarce because adult birds may then attempt to feed their young with the peanuts from your feeders. You will find the perfect mesh wild bird feeders for your peanuts here at Little Peckers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What birds eat peanuts?
Peanuts are popular with a wide variety of garden birds including blue tits, great tits, woodpeckers, nuthatches, sparrows, siskins, and greenfinches. Using a mesh feeder ensures birds peck at the peanuts safely rather than taking whole peanuts.

How do I store peanuts for wild birds?
Store peanuts in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent mould growth and aflatoxin contamination. An airtight container or sealed bag works best. Never offer damp or discoloured peanuts to birds.

Are peanuts safe for wild birds?
Yes, provided they are aflatoxin-tested and sourced from a reputable supplier. Little Peckers peanuts are sourced from the world's finest producers and tested for aflatoxin — a harmful liver toxin that can be fatal to birds.

Should I feed peanuts to birds all year round?
Peanuts can be offered year-round, but extra care is needed during the breeding season (spring/summer). Always use a mesh feeder so adult birds cannot carry whole peanuts to feed to chicks, as these can be a choking hazard.

What feeder should I use for peanuts?
Always use a mesh peanut feeder — this forces birds to peck at the peanuts in small pieces rather than removing whole peanuts, making feeding safe for all birds including small species and fledglings.

How much do 25kg of peanuts cost?
Little Peckers offer 25kg of premium aflatoxin-tested peanuts for just £34.95 with free P&P — exceptional value for regular bird feeders.
