Is Peanut Butter Safe for Birds?

Is it safe to feed peanut butter to birds?

—Frank Pellerin, Edmonton, Alberta

George: Yes, peanut butter is safe for birds. It's a misconception that birds will choke on it. In fact, peanut butter is a nourishing food, and many species of backyard birds flock to this snack. I recommend mixing peanut butter with cornmeal for a high-energy treat.
