- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
-
Q1: Are these peanuts safe for baby birds?
A: When fed through a mesh peanut feeder, they are safe, as this prevents birds from taking large chunks that could pose a choking risk to chicks. -
Q2: What is aflatoxin and why is it dangerous?
A: Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring toxin that can develop in poorly stored peanuts. It is toxic to birds, and RSPB rejects any batch with detectable aflatoxin. -
Q3: Can I use these on a bird table or the ground?
A: It is best to feed whole peanuts only from mesh feeders to avoid the risk of choking. Crushed peanuts can be used on tables or ground. -

A: These peanuts are enjoyed by tits, finches, nuthatches, siskins, and woodpeckers among others. -
Q5: Can I feed peanuts year-round?
