Peanuts for Wild Birds
Peanuts are extremely popular for bulk buying and with 25kg bags you’ll have a plentiful supply of this nutritious food for your garden birds. Packed with protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, peanuts have everything birds need to stay healthy and strong. The protein supports feather growth and development, the healthy fats give them the energy for daily activities, peanuts are a must have for any birder’s feeding regime.
Peanuts are high in Vitamin E which helps keep feathers healthy and overall well being of wild birds. Loved by a wide range of species including tits, woodpeckers and nuthatches, peanuts are a staple for customers who value their high quality and reliability.
When buying peanuts in bulk choose bird friendly options as peanuts for human consumption often contain additives like salt which can be toxic to wild birds. Choosing the right peanuts in 25kg bags means your garden birds get the best and you save money and reduce the need to re order.
Bulk Bird Seed Storage Tips
Proper storage of bulk bird seed keeps it fresh and quality. When you buy inspect the seed for mould or damage to make sure it’s in good condition. Using clean and dry containers like plastic bins or Tupperware is essential to keep the seed dry and pest free. Storing bird seed in a cool dry place prevents spoilage and extends its shelf life.
Rotating your stock and using the older seed first helps to prevent waste and means your birds will always have fresh food. When stored properly bird seed can last over a year so keep an eye on the expiration dates and have a system in place to use the oldest seed first.
Attracting Different Species
Attracting different wild birds to your garden requires a variety of bird food. A mix of natural and supplementary food will attract more species to your garden and enhance your bird watching experience. Specialty seeds like Niger, which require special feeders, are loved by goldfinches and siskins. Small seeds like millet will attract house sparrows and doves, while dried mealworms will attract blackbirds and robins.
Birds can be fed using hanging feeders, which are perfect for seeds and suet, or a bird table, which provides an open platform for a variety of foods like mealworms and fruit.
Checking your bird feeders regularly and refilling with fresh seed will attract more birds. Keeping your feeders and bird baths clean will prevent disease among visiting birds and will keep your garden full of healthy birds.
By offering a variety of bird food and clean feeders, you can attract many wild birds and get up close and personal with nature.
