Peanuts are perfect for year round feeding but are especially welcome for wild birds in winter. Check here for winter feeding information. They are full of protein and fat that will help keep your garden birds and other wildlife healthy and strong no matter the season. Click here for more information on peanuts for wildlife. They are also abundant in the vitamins. Just like humans, bird’s need a full range of vitamins to stay in optimal health.Are all Peanuts the same?
The short answer is no. Unfortunately, Aflatoxins are a family of toxins produced by certain fungi that can be found growing on them. If ingested, these toxins are incredibly harmful to all birds. Thankfully, you’ll be relieved to know that all our peanuts are certified as nil for detectable signs of aflatoxin. This means you can rest assured that they are completely safe for your birds to eat all year round. Always order from a specialist bird food supplier such as Kennedy wild bird food.

Classic Split Peanuts
Fairly good quality split nuts. They are being eaten by the larger birds - Jackdaws and Wood Pigeons on a flat tray. For some reason the smaller birds tend not to eat any type of nut I put out for them whether in feeders or trays. I will re-order these earlier in the season when the birds are nesting and use whole nuts for later.

The Birds are Happy!
The split peanuts seem to be much more popular/manageable for the smaller birds and leave less mess and residue in the feeder. The packaging is very protective and the 8kg bags are easily stored and carried.
