How to Feed

Always feed from a mesh peanut feeder — this prevents birds from removing whole peanuts, which can be a choking hazard for small birds and nestlings. During the breeding season (April–August), take extra care as adult birds may attempt to carry whole peanuts to feed chicks. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mould growth.

Suitable for attracting

Blue tit, great tit, coal tit, nuthatch, great spotted woodpecker, greenfinch, house sparrow, siskin, starling, jay and many more garden birds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is aflatoxin and why does it matter?
Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by mould that can grow on peanuts stored in damp or warm conditions. It is highly hazardous to wild birds and can be fatal. Choosing aflatoxin-tested peanuts from a reputable supplier and storing them correctly reduces this risk significantly.

How should I store peanuts?
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. An airtight container or sealed bag works best. Never offer damp or discoloured peanuts to birds.

Are peanuts safe during the breeding season?
Peanuts can be offered year-round, but always use a mesh feeder during the breeding season so adult birds cannot carry whole peanuts to feed to nestlings, as these can be a choking hazard.

What feeder should I use?
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 species.
