The message
from K contains these words:


They're struggling to feed youngsters at this time of year, and seeds
aren't that plentiful yet.

But even seed-eaters don't feed their hatchlings on seed. Nestlings
require high protein live food to grow to fledging size and strength in
the space of a few weeks.

But the adults need feeding too.

(If they don't feed seeds to nestlings, why the worry about peanuts? ;-)
