Product Information
Full details
Gardeners Dream SQUAWK Split Peanuts are an ideal high-energy food source for backyard bird enthusiasts looking to attract smaller avian species. These peanuts provide essential fats, proteins, and minerals to help birds maintain health and plumage; however, users should be aware that the high oil content requires them to be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent the fats from going rancid over long periods.

FAQs
Why are split peanuts better than whole peanuts?
Split peanuts are easier for smaller birds to handle and digest, significantly reducing the risk of choking compared to large, whole peanuts.
Can I feed these to birds all year round?
Yes, they are suitable for year-round feeding, though they are especially beneficial in winter when birds need extra energy.
How should I store the SQUAWK Split Peanuts?
Keep them in the provided resealable tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Do these peanuts contain additives?
No, these are natural peanuts without added flavorings or artificial preservatives.
Will these peanuts attract squirrels?
Like many bird foods, peanuts are attractive to squirrels. If you have a squirrel problem, consider using a squirrel-proof feeder.
Is the tub recyclable?
The tub is designed to be reusable for storing other garden supplies once the peanuts are finished.
Troubleshooting
Birds are not eating the peanuts.
Ensure the feeder is positioned in a safe, visible spot away from predators. It may take a few days for local birds to become accustomed to a new food source.
Peanuts appear clumped or oily in the tub.
This is a natural occurrence due to the high oil content. Simply shake the tub or stir the contents to break them apart.
Mold or dampness inside the tub.
If the peanuts become wet or moldy, dispose of them immediately to prevent illness in birds and wash the storage container thoroughly before refilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, pour the desired amount of peanuts into a dedicated nut feeder. Ensure the feeder is cleaned regularly to prevent bacteria buildup from old or damp peanuts. The included plastic tub should be kept sealed tightly when not in use. Store the tub in a cool, dark, and dry environment—such as a shed or pantry—to preserve the integrity of the natural oils. Avoid leaving large quantities on the ground, as this can attract rodents; always use a bird table or a hanging feeder for the best results.
