Wagner's In-Shell Peanuts (5 lb)

4/5 — Our Rating

Our Review

In-shell peanuts are a high-energy food that Blue Jays and woodpeckers love. Blue Jays will stuff their throat pouch with multiple peanuts and fly off to cache them. It's some of the most entertaining behavior you'll see at a feeder.

Why We Love It

Blue Jay peanut videos are some of our most popular content. Watching a jay figure out how to grab 3 peanuts at once is peak bird entertainment. We put these on the platform feeder.

Pros

  • Blue Jays love them
  • High-energy food
  • Fun to watch birds crack them
  • Good source of fat and protein

Cons

  • Expensive compared to seed
  • Squirrels LOVE peanuts
  • Can go stale quickly
  • Shells make a mess

Our Tip

Offer on a platform feeder — tube feeders can't handle whole peanuts. For tube feeders, use shelled peanut pieces instead.
