Wow I will be completely honest I never knew raw peanuts were bad for birds! How come? I don't feed Nash peanuts but if I had never seen this I may have! Seems like such a 'parrot' food!!

Aflatoxin, a group of toxins produced by certain species of the fungi aspergillus, is a potential contaminant of peanuts, cereals and grains. Improper storage in warm, damp, dark, conditions promotes growth of the mold,” said Muscarella. "Aflatoxin is a potent liver toxin, and birds are exquisitely susceptible to its toxic effects. This was reported a long time ago in England, where many turkeys died from Aflatoxicosis after eating contaminated corn. At the time this syndrome was referred to as "Turkey X" disease. To this day, there are clear accounts of pet birds dying after eating moldy peanuts and grains

Note:
We have a number of safe/unsafe item list threads in this section. Some of the lists therein contain redundancies. I need to go through those lists and decide which of them represent the best combined information and then reassign sticky status. I will do that fairly soon.
