I feed birds throughout the year, as it is now recommended by many experts, I've often bought chopped peanuts from Dehner Natura. With quality, delivery and packaging I was always satisfied. Peanuts are a more nutritious supplier of fats and other substances for wild birds. Since just smaller birds have trouble take all cores, I fall back on the chopped. so the birds can eat without having to chop up laboriously. Even squirrels are thrilled and besiege several times a day the birdhouse.
