Peanuts for Wild Birds - Feed Well, Feed Safely

Peanuts are one of the most effective ways to support garden birds when fed correctly, with clean, high-quality food and the right approach.

High-Energy Nutrition, All Year Round

Rich in natural oils, protein and calories, peanuts provide essential energy for birds throughout the year - from daily feeding and breeding to colder periods when energy demands increase. 

They are especially valued by species such as tits, woodpeckers and nuthatches, helping support strength, condition and survival.

Peanut Feeding — Done Properly

Peanuts remain an important part of many birds’ diets.

Feeding birds isn’t about stopping; it’s about doing it well.

Using high-quality peanuts and feeding them appropriately helps support bird health while reducing avoidable risks.

Why Choose Haith’s Peanuts?

• Naturally high in oils, protein and energy
• Carefully selected for quality and safety
• Suitable for year-round feeding
• Available whole or as granules for different species
• Trusted by bird lovers who feed responsibly

Whole Peanuts or Granules?

Whole peanuts are ideal for use in mesh peanut feeders, allowing birds to feed safely in small pieces.

Peanut granules are easier for smaller birds and fledglings to eat, offering the same nutritional benefits without the need to break shells.

Providing both can help support a wider range of species in your garden.

Clean Feeding Matters

Quality and cleanliness are essential when feeding peanuts.

Clean, well-prepared peanuts help reduce the risk of contamination and ensure birds receive safe, nutritious food - supporting healthier feeding environments.

Feed the Birds. Feed Them Well.

You don’t need to stop feeding birds. You just need to do it properly with clean food, good hygiene, and a thoughtful approach.

We’re here to help you feed with confidence.
