Peanuts For Birds - Peckish 1kg

Description:

Bird peanuts are a fantastic, high-energy food source for many garden birds, offering essential fats and protein. In Ireland, bird peanuts are a go-to option for feeding a variety of species, especially during autumn and winter when natural food becomes scarce.

Birds Attracted by Bird Peanuts:

• Great Tits: These bold and active birds are resident in Ireland year-round. Great Tits love bird peanuts and will often take them away to store for later, especially in autumn as they prepare for winter. They’re frequent visitors to garden feeders and provide entertaining antics as they dart around.
• Blue Tits: Another garden favorite, Blue Tits are present in Ireland all year and rely heavily on bird peanuts in winter when insects are scarce. They are agile and acrobatic, often hanging upside down from feeders while they snack on bird peanuts.
• Coal Tits: Found in Ireland throughout the year, Coal Tits are smaller relatives of the Great Tit and Blue Tit. They are often seen grabbing bird peanuts from feeders and storing them in hidden spots for later consumption, especially during colder months.
• Woodpeckers: Though rarer in Ireland, the Great Spotted Woodpecker has been spotted more frequently in recent years. They are particularly fond of bird peanuts and will visit feeders if they’re available, especially during the autumn and winter.
• Nuthatches: A relatively new resident in Ireland, Nuthatches have been seen more frequently, particularly in the east. They love bird peanuts and will visit feeders to enjoy them.

Best time to feed: Bird peanuts are perfect for autumn and winter feeding but are enjoyed by birds all year long.

How To Use: To use in bird feeders, simply pour the peanuts into a feeder. In Spring and Summer, it is important to only feed peanuts from a mesh feeder, as young birds are small and can choke on whole peanuts.
