Feeders for peanuts & nuts

Buy peanut feeders and nut silos

Peanuts and nuts are an energy-rich treat for garden birds. Great tits, blue tits, nuthatches and great spotted woodpeckers are particularly fond of them. With a peanut silo or nut feeder, you can offer them neatly without whole nuts getting scattered across your patio.

In this collection, you will find peanut silos and peanut houses from CJ Wildlife and Vogelbescherming, nut feeders, acorn silos and a copper peanut silo with a catch tray from Esschert Design, feeding stations from Buzzy Birds, the Multi FeedR from SingingFriend, a pole-mounted peanut feeder from Tuinplus and models from Wildlife Garden. Window silos and window feeders from Bolmsö and others are also included, for birds right outside your window.

Why a special peanut feeder?

• Mesh or a grate allows birds to peck only small pieces.
• You will have less waste and less food on the ground.
• Large-capacity silos need to be refilled less often.
• There are hanging models, window feeders and pole-mounted feeders.
• Many silos are also suitable for sunflower seeds or mixed nuts.

Feeding peanuts safely

Only use unsalted peanuts intended for birds. In spring and summer, it is best to offer them in a mesh feeder, as whole peanuts are too large for young birds. A silo with a catch tray is extra convenient: fallen pieces are collected, so birds that are not as adept at feeding from mesh, such as the robin, also get a chance.

Placement and maintenance

Hang the feeder at eye level or higher, with nearby cover but not right next to a bush where a cat can hide. Regularly check the nuts for moisture and mould and clean the silo regularly. Feed especially in winter and during dry periods when there is little to be found.

Fill your feeder with peanuts for birds or try bird peanut butter. For even more models, visit the hanging birdhouses.
