Product Information
Full details
SQUAWK Split Peanuts by Gardeners Dream are an ideal high-energy food source for bird enthusiasts looking to attract a diverse range of wild garden species, including Wrens and Greenfinches. These peanuts are specifically split to reduce choking hazards for smaller and younger birds, providing essential fats, fibers, and minerals that support feather health and beak maintenance. While these peanuts are highly nutritious and convenient to store, they should be offered in moderation and ideally within a specialized feeder to prevent scatter.

FAQs
Are these peanuts safe for young birds?
Yes, the split design is specifically crafted to reduce choking hazards, making them much safer for younger and smaller birds compared to whole peanuts.
Can I leave these out in all weather conditions?
It is best to use a feeder that protects the nuts from rain. If they become wet, remove them promptly to prevent mold growth.
How long will the 5L tub last?
Longevity depends on the number of birds visiting your garden, but the sealable tub ensures freshness for the duration of the supply.
What birds will this attract?
It is particularly popular with Wrens, Greenfinches, and various other garden bird species looking for high-energy fats.
Is the tub recyclable?
The tub is designed to be reusable for storing bird food or other garden items, which helps reduce waste.
Should I feed these alone or with other seeds?
For the best health outcomes, offer these as part of a varied diet alongside birdseed or suet treats.
Troubleshooting
Peanuts are clumped together in the tub.
This is likely due to humidity. Ensure the lid is pressed on tightly after every use and store in a cooler, drier location.
Birds are not visiting the feeder.
Ensure the feeder is positioned in a visible, quiet area and that it is not exposed to direct, heavy rainfall. It may take a few days for local birds to discover the new food source.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the 5L tub, ensure it is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the natural oils. When filling your feeder, open the tub and use a scoop to transfer the peanuts, resealing the lid firmly to keep the contents fresh. These peanuts are compatible with most standard bird feeders, though hanging wire mesh feeders are recommended to keep the food dry. Clean your feeding station every few weeks with warm, soapy water to remove any debris or oils, and always ensure the feeding area remains free of wet or moldy remnants.
