Heatherlea | Wild Bird Feeding | High Quality Peanuts

High in calories easily converted to energy by wild birds, peanuts are often the simplest yet most valuable source of food you can provide for our native birds. Peanuts appeal to a very wide range of wild birds, including Robins, Dunnocks, Wrens, Nuthatches, and Coal Tits, available across Ireland & UK.

All peanuts are not created equally; in fact, some peanuts are infected with a fungus known as aflatoxin. This fungus has known carcinogenic traits in humans and can cause toxicity leading to death in wild birds. As there are no known safe levels of aflatoxin for wild birds, we only sell Grade A, certified aflatoxin-free peanuts. Our premium peanuts are always fresh, and we ensure that they are of the highest quality when they reach the end customer by avoiding storing them in our warehouse for a long time where they could become stale. Packed into each peanut are many of the essential nutrients, proteins, oils, minerals, and vitamins, including Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Iron, Zinc, Phosphorous, and Potassium, making them an ideal source of energy.

Peanuts should never be fed loose, on a bird table, or scattered on the ground, and should always be placed inside a wire mesh peanut feeder to prevent large pieces or whole nuts being taken and fed to fledglings, which could present a serious choke risk. Peanuts are also a favourite treat of squirrels, which can be diverted using a suitable squirrel-proof peanut feeder.
