Peanut bird Feeders

Peanut feeders are tube shaped and made from wire or metal mesh and specifically designed to be filled with peanuts or other nuts. Most often they do not have perches and are designed for clinging birds such as woodpeckers. Peanut bird feeders are usually hanging, but some models may be post or pole mounted. Many of the woodpeckers are attracted to peanut feeders including the Pileated Woodpecker and will visit on a regular basis. Whole or crushed, unsalted peanuts can be used to attract a larger variety of birds to your feeding stations. Birds such as woodpeckers, jays, chickadees, titmice, bushtits, nuthatches, brown creepers, wrens, kinglets, northern mockingbirds, brown thrashers, starlings, and yellow-rumped and pine warblers will all visit nut feeders. The more types of bird food you supply, the more species of birds you will have visit your habitat.

If European Starlings are a problem at your bird feeders, a peanut feeder hung a distance away from your main bird feeder area can be used to divert them. Often they will stay occupied at a peanut feeder while the other birds feed at seed feeding stations.

Nuts should be shelled, dry-roasted, and unsalted. You may use peanuts in a shell however, not as many birds will remove the shells and they do make a mess. Peanut manufacturers and processors have now use the bird feeding market as a good place to get rid of the peanuts that are broken or otherwise unfit for human consumption but still meet bird feeding standards. Peanuts are a high energy food for birds good source of protein, fat and oil.

These feeders may be hung or pole mounted and require squirrel/raccoon guards. Cleaning a peanut bird feeder is simple. They can be scrubbed with a stiff brush, hot water and dish soap. Do not use bleach on metal.
