I would feeed the peanuts to my racing pigeons. I purchased some from another supplier, but while they were Spanish peanuts they were too large. Do you have variable sizes? They should be the size we buy in the market as Spanish peanuts for eating.

Hello - Thank for asking about our Raw Spanish Peanuts. We only carry them in one size, US #1 Jumbo, so I do not have anything to compare them to. I know we sell a lot though! We do carry them on our website in 1 lb. packages, which is the smallest package available. You could try ordering 1 for a trial basis if still interested. Next size package is 5 lb. as shown here on Amazon. Thanks!

It took 2-3 weeks before the birds really started coming to mine. I was second guessing my expensive purchase every day! I set up a birdbath nearby....put seed on the grass underneath...bought nice fresh black sunflower seeds ( they're not so wild about the millet/seed mixes I've found..) The finches also LOVE safflower seed! NOW I have so many birds I wish I didn't have to fill it so often. Try the birdbath nearby and the seed underneath.

Have not tried in-shell peanuts. I use it for suet cakes. Have found that larger birds can't get into the cage: squares are too small for them to get to get into the cage.

The flour says almonds ground to a fine flour. I would bet it came in contac with peanuts in the factory if they also deal with other nuts. i would contac the company itself to make sure, to be on safe side.

I have these hanging on my house as well as on a pole, they are cute and draw the birds nicely. I have used sunflower, safflower and plain wild bird seed in these little feeding balls and all three work fine...I imagine if you hang them and just put wild bird seed mix in it you will see an assortment of birds visiting...good luck!:)

You may need to size up for a bird that size. I have a pionus and its the perfect size for him.

Doves are too big for this feeder. Finches and smaller have no trouble, and acrobats like some woodpeckers can perch on bottom rungs and eat from top openings. :-)

I feed squirrels regular, unsalted peanuts. My horses and chickens like them too. I buy them in 25 lb. bags from the local feed store.

Hello, friend, we have many nuts. They are made of real cattle bone material,which can improve sound to be more fantastic. But i am not sure sure which size of the nut you need. You can choose from my shop:

It doesn't say anything except pecans fresh from Georgia...and they're wonderful! I did not see any peanuts in the package nor any residue (shells, etc.)--I think these pecans come from pecan orchards (nut trees) and not from the legume farmers, since peanuts are a legume/pea plant. And, there is nothing on the label to indicate that the pecans are processed in a plant that also processes peanuts. ....So, looks to me as if they're purely pecans! Anyway, they are super nuts...I baked a pecan pie for Thanksgiving that had to be the best ever, and I make a lot of pecan pies! Good luck!

Marge - The tortillas are about the same size as the supermarket ones, but I would strongly recommend that you do NOT buy them!!!! They were such a disappointment! I grew up in Mexico and had hoped for the "real thing", but the Banderitas are WORSE than the supermarket brands!!! They were thin and totally fell apart -- they're good bird-food but not much else. I put them in the freezer and will use them in tortilla soup so they're not a total waste.Julie

I use my mother's old recipe, including stringing the sugar and water and not using a candy thermometer, which calls for Spanish peanuts with the red hulls. I have tried other peanuts, usually larger, but they don't seem to cook through in the time it takes for the sugar to cook and deepen in color. Thus I always have a mad search for raw Spanish peanuts at Christmas time.

If you're attracting doves and other ground feeders.... simply sprinkle your feed on the ground or get a bird block. Otherwise, personal taste. I like the tubes with perches for the other birds. Get a quality tube feed if you go that route. The cheap ones are quickly devoured by the sun. Tomas in Tucson

I mix in shelled peanuts as well as black sunflower seeds. The hulls gather in the bottom of the wooden box under the hole. They surplus just spill out of the hole onto the ground. Occasionally I will reach my hand in and remove the shells. Either way they don't hurt anything.

You would want an inoculant for peanuts/lima beans. This would be a better choice for Pigeon peas: Garden Accessory Inoculant Organic for Bean Pea Peanuts D9321 (Brown) 1.5 Ounce Pack Treats 8 Pounds by David's Garden Seeds (pv) by David's Garden Seeds http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Accessory-D9321-Davids-Seeds/dp/B003CZMYY0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1395344975&sr=8-2&keywords=seed+inoculant Best of luck with your garden this year!

Peanut pieces will work, full peanuts probably will not. We use a bird seed mix of white stripe sunflower, black oil sunflower, peanut pieces and mullet, which does not jam the feeder. We are on our third feeder of this style. As mentioned in other answers squirrels will try to get to it, keep it well away from trees. Weakest link is the plastic feed tube and the lack of good drainage. It should be emptied and cleaned monthly. We keep one in service and another one cleaned ready to hang. We get a large variety of birds year round.

I would definitely return them. I received some a couple weeks ago and they were great! The quality control of size is lacking. 75% of them are normal size. The rest range from normal to tiny. But, they are much cheaper than "Red Hots" so, I can live with that.
