Product Information
Full details
Gardeners Dream SQUAWK Split Peanuts are ideal for bird enthusiasts looking to provide high-energy, nutrient-dense sustenance to a wide range of wild garden birds. The key benefit of this product is its split-peanut design, which significantly lowers choking risks for smaller avian visitors while delivering essential oils, fibre, and minerals for healthy feathers and beak maintenance; however, users should note that these peanuts are rich in oil and should be offered in moderation or via a specialized feeder to maintain optimal garden hygiene.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Why are these peanuts split?
The split design makes it easier for smaller birds to consume the nut in smaller pieces, effectively reducing the risk of choking.
Can I feed these to birds year-round?
Yes, they provide excellent energy for birds in winter and extra nutrition for parents during the spring nesting season.
How should I store the 2.5L tub?
Keep the tub in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the freshness and natural oils of the peanuts.
Do these peanuts contain any additives?
Gardeners Dream SQUAWK Split Peanuts are premium grade, focusing on providing natural nutrition without unnecessary additives.
Can I put these on a bird table?
It is highly recommended to use a mesh feeder instead, as bird tables can lead to dampness and hygiene issues with high-oil foods.
Are these safe for fledglings?
It is best to offer peanuts in feeders during the breeding season so adults can break them down for their young safely.
Troubleshooting
Birds are not eating the peanuts
Ensure the feeder is in a visible, quiet location and give birds a few days to discover the new food source.
Peanuts have become soft or clumped
Moisture has likely entered the feeder or storage tub; discard any moldy peanuts and ensure the container lid is fully sealed.
Large birds or squirrels are stealing all the food
Switch to a squirrel-proof feeder cage or a weight-sensitive feeder that restricts access for larger animals.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces choking risk for small birds
- High in essential oils and nutrients
- Reusable, airtight 2.5L storage container
- Promotes healthy feather growth and beak maintenance
- Easy for birds to digest
Cons
- High oil content may attract larger pests if not managed
- Should only be provided via a mesh bird feeder
- Requires proper storage to prevent mold from dampness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply scoop the desired amount of peanuts from the 2.5L tub into a metal mesh feeder. Avoid using tray or ground feeders, as this can lead to uneaten food becoming damp or attracting unwanted garden visitors. Compatibility is universal with most standard wild bird nut feeders. For care, keep the container stored in a cool, dry place to maintain the oil quality. Periodically clean your bird feeder with a mild, bird-safe disinfectant to prevent the spread of bacteria, ensuring your garden visitors stay healthy and continue to return to your station.
