FAQs

Are SQUAWK Kibbled Peanuts safe for all wild birds?

Yes, kibbled peanuts are generally safe and highly nutritious for a wide variety of wild birds. However, always ensure feeders are clean to prevent disease spread.

Can I feed these peanuts all year round?

Yes, kibbled peanuts can be fed year-round. They are especially beneficial during autumn and winter when natural food sources are scarce.

How should I store the kibbled peanuts?

Store the tub in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and protected from pests. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after opening.

What is the main benefit of kibbled peanuts over whole peanuts?

Kibbled peanuts are easier for smaller birds like wrens and finches to consume due to their smaller size, making them more accessible and less wasteful for these species.

When fed correctly in appropriate feeders, peanuts are a safe and beneficial food. Avoid feeding salted or roasted peanuts, which are not suitable for wild birds. SQUAWK Kibbled Peanuts are specifically prepared for bird consumption.

How much should I feed my garden birds?

Feed a quantity that is typically consumed within a day or two to ensure freshness and prevent spoilage, especially in warmer weather.

Troubleshooting

Birds are not eating the peanuts.

Ensure the feeder is clean and accessible. Try a different type of feeder or placement location. Birds may also be attracted to other food sources; consider offering a variety.

Peanuts seem to be getting wet or moldy.

Store the product in a dry environment. Ensure the feeder is well-drained and offers protection from rain. Remove any spoiled food immediately.

Only larger birds are eating the food.

The kibbled size is generally good for smaller birds. If larger birds are dominating, consider feeders with smaller openings or look for specialized feeders that allow access only to smaller species.
