Peanuts for Birds
Our premium bird peanuts are carefully selected, aflatoxin-tested and packed with energy for garden birds. Choose from whole, chopped or kibbled peanuts, a favourite food of tits, woodpeckers, robins and nuthatches throughout the year.
Why choose peanuts for birds?
Bird peanuts are one of the most popular and nutritious foods you can offer to garden birds. High in energy, protein and natural oils, they’re ideal for feeding all year round. From winter survival to spring breeding, peanuts help birds stay healthy and strong.
Are peanuts safe for birds?
Yes – when you choose aflatoxin-tested, wildlife-safe peanuts like ours. All CJ Wildlife peanuts are rigorously tested to ensure they’re free from harmful moulds. For extra safety during breeding season, we recommend offering chopped or kibbled peanuts to prevent choking in young birds.
Types of bird peanuts available
- Whole peanuts – Best fed from a wire mesh feeder to reduce waste and avoid large pieces being taken by chicks.
- Chopped peanuts – Ideal for small birds or use on bird tables.
- Kibbled peanuts – Also known as split or crushed peanuts – easier to digest and safer for fledglings.
- Peanut granules – Finely crushed and great for mixing with seed blends or suet.
How to feed peanuts to birds
Whole peanuts should always be fed in a suitable peanut feeder with a secure mesh to prevent birds from taking large chunks. Crushed or chopped peanuts can be scattered on the ground or added to a bird table. Avoid using salted or flavoured peanuts — they can be harmful to birds.
Which birds eat peanuts?
- Blue tits, great tits and coal tits
- Woodpeckers – Particularly love whole peanuts in feeders.
