[OLDYELLOW]

stay clear of wild bird food peanuts they have a high rate of mould on exceeding human consumption they'll make your birds very ill , buy human grade from your local supermarket i get mine from morrisons shelled red skins

human quality from holland and barrett

[owen101]

so keep a eye out for human quality how many is suitable for a bird

[lightning fast]

one or two before a race mabe more at longer distance  But have heard storeys of guy who were big peanut feeders and after a year or two there perfomances fell be the way

can tame your birds with peanuts but id say no more than 2 / 3 a day i think two aday and make them take them out of your hand they go NUTS  for them boom boom lol  ;D ;D ;D ;D

i give my birds peanuts the ones that human eats get mine from were i work sainsburys they have 3 each a day all giving from the hand to each bird a good corn to give for that extra protein and fat if you do it right the fat will turn to energy thats what you wont

i give my birds peanuts ..loads..i dont want to contradict any other posts but ive been a big feeder of peanuts,it wouldnt be strange for a bird (if fast enough) to get 15nuts in a day...

i cant underestimate how big peanuts are in my racing season..but each to their own.

you have to do what you feel.

i cannot comment on that as i dont know,but it has never been a problem for me ,thats not saying it wont happen...its just in my case it hasnt.

maybe i have a balance in the way i feed and give extras,

I suppose giving sedochol would help the liver
