Royal Wing In-Shell Peanuts Wild Bird Food, 10 lb

Bigger volume better price.

I am happy with peanuts. So are the Happy Bird's and Squirrell's.

Placed my first - and last - order with Tractor Supply for 50lbs of these peanuts. There's a colony of 15+ squirrels and countless blue jay, grackle and cardinal that I feed only roasted unsalted peanuts in the shell to every day. I opened the box and saw how small the peanuts are (I feed them jumbo size peanuts). Not a huge deal but noticed. What I always do is taste a peanut or two to see how they taste and make sure they're alright. Unbeknownst to me at this point I did just that. The peanuts not only do not taste like a peanut it left a nasty after taste in my mouth. I used mouthwash and brushed my teeth but it took over an hour for the after taste to dicipate. I then noticed the "Not for human consumption" stamp on the box. How do you make a peanut that's not for human consumption but is perfectly safe for animals? Are you kidding me?? And the shells are quite soft. But the biggest red flag with these "peanuts" was the squirrels' and bird' reactions to them. Three quarters of them completely steered clear of the peanuts. The squirrel would sniff and get away from them. The birds didn't go near them. The few animals that did eat these "peanuts" I feel guilty about. I Hope they don't get sick. I quit feeding them these peanuts not long after I opened the 25lb box. I ordered a few bags of jumbo peanuts from my local store and that's what they'll be getting. The peanuts from Tractor Supply are going in the trash. TS may want to reconsider their supplier bc I question if these "peanuts" are even real food.

Blue jays love them
