Remember - if you are going to put out some peanut butter use an unsalted variety. Most of that made for human consumption has added salt which is bad for the birds.
These are the two varieties I have used.

Friday at the Flicks - Hungry Starlings
About a week ago I dug out the home made log feeders which have peanut butter in holes for birds to dig out. The intention being to try attracting more visits from a Great Spotted Woodpecker. It took most of the week before anything was bold enough to try them out and then it was the Starlings which have started visiting in larger, greedy, squabbling numbers.

This video is excellent quality.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderfully entertaining and so they should be for the amount they eat.
Adrian. I am very pleased with the 70D video capabilities.
DeleteThat's one bird that will eat just about anything. No wonder they do so well in places.
ReplyDeleteKeith - and go to any lengths to get at the food!
Deletethey are very happy for your treats. :)
ReplyDeleteTWG. Now we are into real Winter weather there are plenty of regulars coming for their three meals a day.
DeleteAaaaw, they deserve it after they went to so much trouble to get it! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas John and a Happy New Year to you and your garden residents!
ReplyDeleteMaree: Starlings never give in when it comes to food!
DeleteWishing you very Happy New Year to you and yours.
I'm guessing peanut butter for birds is more expensive.
ReplyDeleteSue: I've just received a couple of 1Kg tubs of the Meridian Natural Crunchy with no added salt from a company called Dolphin Fitness on the web. They were under £5 each + £4 delivery. Ordered last Friday, arrived today by courier delivery.
DeleteCJ Wildlife sell jars of peanut butter for birds in a variety of 'flavours' - £2.49 for 330g. Less if you buy in bulk. (A lot cheaper than they were a year or so ago)
