We feed unsalted, roasted, in-shell peanuts but I fear every Bluejay in the county has discovered us. Between the Bluejays and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers I am feeding over 3 lbs per day. I have a lifelong friend in Virginia that grows peanuts and I can have all the raw peanuts I want for go-and-get-them. I'm serious, I have a Dodge Dismal pickup and my friend says I can fill the truck to overflowing if I come get the peanuts. Are in-the-shell raw peanuts an acceptable food, especially for our summer Red-Headed Woodpeckers + all the winter bums we enjoy.
