Attract Birds with Peanuts
Add a peanut feeder to attract birds such as titmice, jays,
chickadees, woodpeckers and nuthatches. Along with seed and suet, all of
these birds will eat peanut pieces, which are high in fat and protein.
It is fun to watch the behavior and antics of birds that come to peanut
feeders. |
|
 Peanuts can
be offered in mesh feeders, on platform feeders and in a variety of other
specialty feeders.
As with all birdfeeders, it is important to keep your peanut feeder
clean, especially during hot and humid weather. When peanuts get wet, they
can become moldy. Mold or fungi can cause problems for birds or other
animals that eat the food. Add a peanut feeder to your backyard and watch
the birds go nuts over this tasty treat.
