    salted peanuts

    Peanuts are, as far as I'm concerned, peanuts in comparison to what else I buy to feed the birds. Three to four 20 kg bags of sunflower seeds and dozens of suet cakes . The peanuts are hidden here and there by the blue jays and a few resident squirrels. I guess 20 shells would be a good...

    salted peanuts

    Thank you. Glad you were able to establish the right percentage. I have a feeing this corresponds more to human taste than to human needs. The challenge will be to find some in their natural state.

I am 76 and have been feeding chkadees, blue jays and other kinds of birds for 30 some years, and have never encountered a sick or dead bird. BUT I still had...

    salted peanuts

    Hi ! Greetings from snowy Northeastern Québec ! The peanuts in their shell we buy at the grocery stores apparently have 1% salt, somehow. Have been feeding birds with them for years, never seen one sick or dead chickadee or blue jay. Any opinions about this ? Thanks all, Happy Holiday season !

    Thank you ! Distancing feeders is impossible, but glad to know it's their normal behaviour. Will concentrate on quality feeding.

    agressive hummingbirds

    Greetings from Northeastern Québec. Every year, no more than 2 male hummingbirds fight over my feeder. All summer. If I put up TWO, will they just exhaust themselves even more, or would that make things more peaceful ? Thanks for your time. Gary C.

    types of feed ?

    Yo ! I have set aside any other type of bird feed except for back sunflower seeds because many years ago, the bag of seeds I had bought produced infernal vines I was never able to get rid of. Long, thin, grow like hell ! Black sunflower helps many species winter over up here in chilly N- Québec...

    newbie

    Yo ! Greetings from chilly N-E Québec ! I have been feeding birds for a long time, but just black sunflower. Some peanuts for the blue jays. I attract black-capped chckadees, mostly, and a few other kinds of sunflower addicts that winter over here. Ma crow used to come 2 feet from me to get her...
