Default peanuts for a robin

wondering what food to put out for the local robin. apparently they like
cheese, but several sites warn not to give salted peanuts. some of the
peanuts you buy in a packets now (ie waitrose) are not very salty, im
wondering if its okey to give them if you soak the peanuts in water, to get
rid of the salt; or whether there is still too much salt?

tried to email the rspca but they want your life history of details before
they allow you to ask a question.


Feed them bird food rather than human food

Having said that my local s-mkt does unsalted nuts for cooking use.
