Product Information
Full details
Honeyfield's Simply Premium Peanuts are an ideal choice for bird enthusiasts looking to attract high-energy seeking species like Tits and Woodpeckers to their garden. These peanuts are packed with essential fats and proteins to support wild birds throughout the year, especially during harsh winters and the demanding breeding season. While they provide excellent nutritional value, they must be served in a wire mesh feeder to ensure birds only take small, manageable pieces, as whole peanuts can pose a choking hazard to smaller nestlings.

FAQs
Can I feed these to birds year-round?
Yes, Honeyfield's Simply Premium Peanuts are perfectly safe and beneficial for birds throughout all four seasons.
Why must I use a wire mesh feeder?
A wire mesh feeder prevents birds from taking whole nuts, which are a choking hazard for smaller birds and nestlings.
Are these peanuts safe for fledglings?
During the breeding season, it is recommended to stop feeding whole peanuts as small nestlings cannot swallow them. Stick to softer foods until they have fledged.
How should I store the 4kg bag?
Keep the bag in a cool, dry, and dark environment, preferably inside a metal or heavy-duty plastic bin to keep out pests.
Do these peanuts contain any additives?
No, Honeyfield's Simply Premium Peanuts are completely free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives.
Troubleshooting
Birds are ignoring the feeder.
Ensure the feeder is in a visible, quiet spot. It may take a few days for birds to discover a new food source.
The peanuts appear damp or clumpy.
Remove the peanuts, clean the feeder thoroughly, and ensure the feeder has a rain guard or is positioned in a more sheltered spot.
Squirrels are raiding the feeder.
Consider adding a squirrel baffle to the pole or moving the feeder to a position where squirrels cannot jump onto it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To safely feed these peanuts, place them exclusively in a sturdy wire mesh feeder. This design allows birds to peck at small fragments rather than removing whole nuts, which prevents potential choking.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly check the feeder for any moisture buildup; if peanuts become damp or moldy, discard them immediately to prevent the spread of avian diseases.
- Clean the feeder every few weeks with a mild, bird-safe disinfectant.
- Store your 4kg bag in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark location to preserve freshness and prevent pest contamination.
- Keep the storage area away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the natural oils.
