Should I Feed The Birds In My Garden?

What Bird Food Is Healthiest?

There are lots of different types of bird food out there and all of them have different properties and attributes that make them perfect for when you want to feed the birds in your garden, but what bird food is the healthiest.

Peanuts

Peanuts are extremely healthy and good for birds. they are full of good fats and oils that birds desperately need to stay safe and healthy. Birds need these good oils for energy especially if they have flying, hunting, or protecting their nests. All of these activities are particularly strenuous and can cause the birds to become quickly exhausted if they do have the energy.

Peanuts are especially good for birds to eat in the winter months. As the weather gets colder it can be harder for birds to stay warm, luckily the fat and oils in peanuts can help them regulate their body temperature and stay warm in the cold winter months.

Remember, birds cannot eat salted peanuts or any sort of treated nut that is designed for human consumption. If you want to feed the birds in your garden nuts then make sure you purchase them through a bird food specialist so you know they won’t do the bird any harm.
