peanut plant

Peanuts still remain one of the most popular food choices for many garden birds, particularly in times when highly calorific food is needed. Peanuts offer a really good balance of oil and protein, both of which are necessary for energy and good health.

Just how calorific peanuts are, can be evidenced by the fact that they very rarely appear in any human dieting regimens and if they do – you are only allowed a small handful at a time!

When Werther’s Originals won’t cut it and there’s no room left in the whisky cabinet for a new addition, a bird-friendly gift from RWBF can be just the ticket.

There are a startling number of children in the UK who rarely explore the natural world around them, and we think it's time for change!

With technology spreading into every aspect of our lives and our children's lives, it's important that we inspire them to go outside and experience something 'real'. 

I know what you're thinking... how bad can the problem really be?
