Farmer Scott's Wild Bird Peanuts 2KG – High Energy Protein-Rich Feed

Farmer Scott's Wild Bird Peanuts – 2kg

Two kilos of whole peanuts, which is about three or four fills of an average mesh feeder. It is the right bag for a garden with one nut feeder, or for anyone who would rather buy fresh often than store a sack through a damp winter.

Peanuts go in a wire mesh feeder, never a seed feeder with open ports: the mesh is what forces birds to peck fragments off instead of carrying a nut away. Fed that way they can stay out all year, including through the breeding season, and they will hold a nuthatch's attention like nothing else on the station.

Performance & Benefits

• 2kg of whole peanuts, high in oil and protein.
• Around three or four fills of a standard mesh peanut feeder.
• A manageable bag that is used up before the nuts have time to age.
• Brings in tits, nuthatches and woodpeckers, and holds them through the summer.
• Fed through mesh, so birds take fragments rather than whole nuts.

Suitable For

• Blue tits, great tits, coal tits and long-tailed tits.
• Nuthatches, greater spotted woodpeckers, greenfinches and house sparrows.
• A single wire mesh peanut feeder on a station, table hook or branch.
• Gardens feeding nuts seasonally rather than year-round.
• Will not last long once a nuthatch and a family of tits find it — Farmer Scott's Wild Bird Peanuts 12.55kg is the sack to buy if you feed nuts all year.

Feeding

• Fill a wire mesh peanut feeder. Do not use a seed feeder with open ports.
• Tip out and check any remaining nuts before refilling rather than topping up over them.
• Keep the bag sealed and dry between fills.
• Keep fresh water available for drinking and bathing near the feeder.
• Made for feeding wild birds only. Not for human consumption.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: whole peanuts.
• Farmer Scott's publish no typical analysis for their peanuts — no protein, oil, fibre or ash figures appear on their website — so none is stated here.
• Farmer Scott's publish no aflatoxin test statement either, so no such claim is made here. Check the declaration printed on the bag.
• 2kg bag. Barcode 5061043770010.

Care & Caution

• Feed whole peanuts from a wire mesh feeder only. Loose whole nuts can choke a nestling, and adults will carry them straight to the nest in spring and summer.
• Peanuts can develop aflatoxin if they are stored damp. Keep the bag dry and sealed, and throw out any nuts that smell musty or look discoloured.
• Contains nuts. Made for feeding wild birds only, not for human consumption.
