Which type of peanut butter should I feed to birds?

- Beth Mucci SWANZEY, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Peanut butter is a good highprotei­n food for birds, and they eat any of the same types humans do. If you’re buying it specifical­ly for birds, look for natural or organic types with the fewest additives. It’s best to avoid low-fat varieties, which may not have as much nutritiona­l value for the birds. And if you offer peanut butter stuffed into holes in a log-type feeder, be sure to clean it out thoroughly before refilling it so mold won’t grow on the remains of older contents.
