We have 2.5 cats so to even things up I love feeding our little feathered friends. Most food is relatively cheap but peanuts now seem to be more expensive than gold pound for pound especially when the starlings start guzzling them all down.

Anyone know a cheap place online?

I go to our local animal feed place and buy chicken feed in 10kg sacks. Then throw that out for the birds.

If you buy 12.5Kg or more in a single sealed bag it's zero-rated for VAT so might be cheaper than 10Kg.

Some peanuts are toxic to birds, due to high levels of aflatoxins just make sure the ones you buy are safe for garden birds.

Oddly, the Starlings ignore my feeding station point blank until I put out a fat slab - this gets gang raped and is gone in less than 48 hours usually.

If I fill the small peanut feeder full, the nuts will be black and horrible before the feeder is emtpy.

Thanks bexVN, didn't know that. I will stick with my normal supplier then.

Couple of Jays today, lovely looking and very clever birds.
