- Nuts are a necessary energy-rich additional feed for birds and squirrels in cold weather.
- Peanuts are an energy-rich food enjoyed by many different birds and squirrels.
- They are 100% edible and are rich in both protein and fat.
- Birds often grab a nut from the bait and later take it to a hiding place for food.
WHY PEANUTS ARE USEFUL FOR BIRDS
- Peanuts are naturally high in fat.
- Fat provides ample energy for the daily activities of birds – flying, pruning, protecting the nest, raising cubs, singing and much more.
- High-fat foods such as peanuts are especially important in winter or during the spring and autumn cold seasons.
- Birds need extra calories to maintain body heat during the cold.
- However, peanuts also provide fiber, calcium, potassium and other nutrients that are part of the bird’s varied diet.
- These nuts do not spoil as quickly as other high-fat feeds.
NB! If you have already started feeding birds, be sure to continue to do so until spring, because birds accustomed to additional feeding can perish in the absence of food.
