Do Birds Like Salted Peanuts ?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

I bought a big bag of salted peanuts from aldi but they are shocking

Can I chuck em out for the sparrows and Robins or should I liquidise them first to stop them choking ?

I don't want to be in court accused of bird manslaughter

The time to be more concerned about feeding birds full sized peanuts is the spring and summer when a young one may choke on one. I’d be a bit more concerned about all of the salt on the nuts, but I suppose they’d cope with that.

You should never feed salted nuts of any kind to wild birds as long-term ingestion of salt will kill them.

What about squirrels, does the same apply? Have you just handed me the solution to my squirrel issues - the pair nesting in next doors hedge consume around 90% of my apple crop every year.

Wash the salt off first, then put them in a mesh nut-feeder so birds can only peck at them rather than eat them whole.
Put a note on the feeder "May contain nuts".

You will find that the salt in salted peanuts are ingrained and although you can wash the salt on the outside of them off, you cannot get the inside free of salt.

Regarding the squirrel post, yes it is the same with squirrels but takes a bit longer to activate, however never give a squirrel mouldy corn it will be fatal for them even though they are very greedy for corn the same with canned corn because of the salt in it.
