Description

Made from solid metal providing a strong yet attractive finish, the Supa Lantern Peanut Feeder is a safer and more environmentally friendly way to offer high energy peanuts to visiting birds in your garden, providing safety for the smaller birds while they enjoy their food.

The closure caps are designed to be difficult for squirrels to open yet easy for humans so that the feeder can be cleaned and refilled without effort.

Larger birds such as pigeons and doves, and squirrels, can be prevented from eating or hoarding all of the food left for the smaller birds, as they will not be able to access the food through the exterior wire cage. Powder coated, durable and built to last, the feeder is ideal for hanging from your Wild Bird Feeding Station.

If you have very persistent squirrels in your garden, strong chilli powder or pepper sauce (eg Tabasco) can also be dusted onto bird food. Birds are not bothered by the chilli, but most squirrels cannot put up with the burning sensation, and will leave the food alone.

Peanuts should only be fed from a wire mesh feeder, and never from the ground or a bird table. Providing peanuts in a feeder means that they must be broken into smaller pieces to fit through the fine mesh and prevents the risk of younger birds and fledglings from choking on whole peanuts.

To encourage visiting birds to use this feeder, position is around 2m away from the closest area of safe cover. This will make sure that your feeder is visible to passing birds, while still offering a feeling of security to birds as they eat, as a safe area to hide is closeby.
