Oh, I would have never thought of that.  Feeding the pets.  With that 
in mind, I might place mine on the deck where fewer animals can get 
to it.  We don't have a pet. lol  Well, Grand dogs. lol

How big are the peaches?  Like a golf ball?

I thought if I had any amount of there I would dry them.  Nothing as 
good as dried peaches. Well, maybe strawberries.  Well, come to think 
of it, I have a lot of dried foods I like.
