- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
-
Q1: Why is aflatoxin dangerous to birds?
A: Aflatoxin is a toxic substance that can develop in poor-quality or improperly stored peanuts. It can build up in birds' bodies, potentially leading to illness or death. RSPB strictly rejects any peanuts with detectable aflatoxin. -
Q2: Can I feed these to birds on a table or the ground?
A: Whole peanuts should be fed only from a mesh feeder. For bird tables or ground feeding, use chopped or crushed peanuts to reduce the risk of choking. -
Q3: Are these safe during breeding season?
A: Yes, but again, only when used in a suitable feeder that prevents large chunks from being taken. -
Q4: How long will a 1.8kg bag last?
A: This depends on bird traffic in your garden. With frequent visitors, it could last 1–2 weeks in a busy area, or longer with occasional feeding. -
Q5: Will these peanuts attract pests?
A: If stored correctly and feeders are kept clean, pest attraction is minimal. Always secure feed storage and clean up spillages promptly.
