PEANUTS

[chris h]

How many of you feed peanuts and how often do you feed them. And what kind of peanuts?

[OLDYELLOW]

red skinned from morrissons must be fit for human consumption as wild birds peanuts have too much mould on them which can make the birds very ill  

[just ask me]

well for me its peanuts that are for human consumption i feed the young birds a bit in my hand makes them tame for racing birds well all depends on the race coming up bit dont over feed on them as they are fattening

[whiteflighted]

as many as they can eat before basketing

[Guest strapper]

my birds get them all the time and get plenty....i fully believe that they make a difference to their racing.

i know its off point but i do think its needs a mention if bad grade peanuts are put in wild bird food and we all know the peanuts in wildbird food is of very low standard why do we feed them to our wild birds as we as pigeon fanicers knows the damage that bad peanuts can cause are our wild birds any different i dont think so i think these peanuts cause them harm too

 

if this is the case how can so called wildlife lovers or bird lovers ie bill oddie put there name to this feed im sure he knows the damage that bad peanuts does to birds

 

me and one of my rants again sorry for going off the point  ;D ;D ;D

the birds got the lot and it was funny watching them trying to eat it but they did

My w/hood cocks get a peanut (human grade) each everytime I enter their loft.

Once my y/birds have the taste for them they're offered to them by hand, if they dont take them from the hand they go without.
