Eirpet Wild Bird Peanut (900 g), €6.15
Peanuts for Wild Birds. Feeding wild birds will increase the number of species that visit your garden. This will greatly improve their chances of survival during the winter it will also help them through the difficult breeding season. Many of our wild birds now look on our gardens as a safe place of refuge. The necessary development of intensive farming in the countryside, has put pressure on many of our native birds. Not only are the number of singing Sky Larks and colourful Yellow Hammers declining but even among common garden birds like the Starling and Song Trushes there is notable decrease. Feeding All Year Round? It is now recommended to feed wild birds all year round. It is especially important to feed them from November through to July. Many of us appreciate the hardships for birds of the winter months. But spring and summer can also be an equally difficult time during breeding. There is a shortage of seed during the planting season. The young birds some from as early as March put pressure on the breeding pair to provide food. The number of young all species puts further demands on the supply chain. It is important that you continue to supply throughout the year. With their own food supplies secure, the adults can forage for caterpillars, grubs and insects to feed their young.
