Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between monkey nuts and peanut kernels?
Monkey nuts are whole peanuts still in their natural shell. Peanut kernels (also called peanut hearts or shelled peanuts) have had the shell removed. Monkey nuts provide the added enrichment of shell removal, which encourages natural foraging behaviour.

Can I use monkey nuts in a peanut feeder?
No — monkey nuts are too large for standard peanut feeders. They are best strung and hung, scattered on the ground, or placed in a suitable open dish or tray.

Are monkey nuts safe for all birds?
Monkey nuts are best suited to larger birds and species with strong bills capable of cracking the shell, such as jays, nuthatches, great spotted woodpeckers and great tit. Smaller birds may struggle with the shell.
