Peanut Wreath Feeder

[@CF-rl8mz]

Am I the only one who cheered for the woody when he got his little peanut? Lol

[@valeriereneeharper]

I was cheering, finally! Wasn’t sure if he was going to get one

[@crasken2010]

I was so happy when he finally succeeded!

[@joyceyang6976]

It took him so long… 🤣

[@pretibrowniss]

The poor little woodpecker had problems but the Blue Jays had it all figured out.I love all different types of birds.

[@saiyanblood321]

they normally peck at the shells to get the peanuts out, my downy does it all the time. the jays however just grab them whole

[@LouieTheLip]

Same here I get blue jays but only an occasional downy woodpecker no red-bellied woodpeckers I'm jealous. 👌

[@elle5031]

I couldn't stop watching until the Woodpecker finally got a peanut......

[@marilynbaker1025]

He persevered got to give the guy credit!!

[@BMarie774]

Bluejays habe quickly become my favorite bird. They’re criminally underrated in intelligence. I’ve found them to be smarter than crows, honestly. They almost always understand when you’re trying to feed them, and the second you do, they never forget it. Within the first time of me tossing my bluejay friend a peanut, he became unafraid of me, but not in a stubborn way. He’s still a cautious bird, but he knows I’m tossing the peanuts FOR him, not at him. And he hops right over to me. He’s the first bird to take them directly from me. I also think he’d be the first bird to never trust me again if I ever did try to grab him etc (which is NEVER try to grab a wild bird). My point is, he’s not foolishly trusting. He’s calculated trusting. He observes, and thinks, ans makes his move while taking in my body language the entire time. And he learned quickly… i wasn’t luring him to a trap. Whereas the crows, they sometimes mistake a thrown peanut as an aggressive sign, or get spooked by even the most gentle of arm movements while tossing. I’ve noticed with crows, they do seem to use turning my back as a sign of respect/trust much quicker. If I turn my back to a crow it’s usually gonna take that as a “oh, they trust us, we are good” sign. Whereas a bluejay seems to not take as much weight to back turning.

[@Talonflamez]

The woodpecker was like “w-what how are they getting those so easily?”

[@BMarie774]

Me yelling in my head “JUST TAKE A PEANUT!”

[@shaynajohnson6805]

That is a fantastic video! Thank you for showing how the feeder works -- still chuckling!

[@alanstrong3295]

Love that feeder. Jimmy Carter would like this idea.

[@allhopeabandon7831]

That's what Jimmy Carter should have stuck with...I've been thinking a lot about Jimmy Carter lately, how he's not gonna go down as the worst President in American history any longer...

[@coconutgirl816]

I didn't know woodpeckers ate peanuts. I like how he stood his ground.

[@n.w.414]

coconutgirl816 i think he would have preferred suet though.

[@shawnmclean7932]

They love peanut butter. I read than a birding book, put a bunch in the backyard, next day there was a red bellied woodpecker.

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

@@shawnmclean7932 It's even easier than that, just build the house and they will come

[@winnhill3736]

​@@shawnmclean7932You are correct but they along with blue jays will take them any way you give them,shelled or not.

[@debbiezee]

That poor bird.....he worked so hard for that peanut.

[@tsanseverino950]

Woodpecker finally got one out!!

[@vistaprime]

I am not sure of that location. That's a goldmine for squirrels for sure.

[@cristinakimimela2605]

Fantastica idea! 💙

[@Armyblink4life554]

I have this feeder but so far only the squirrels have yet to find it😭

[@marilynbaker1025]

Now that is the coolest thing!

[@nancybeard9182]

How is this not covered with squirrels?!

[@ckobo84]

Perhaps there's no Oak / acorn trees near by? that's the case where I live and I never see squirrel around.

[@goodgravy3047]

@@ckobo84 consider yourself lucky. Squirrels don't need an oak tree to be near in order to ravish your bird feeders.

[@cadehass8754]

Because a WOODPECKER and blue Jays made it their spot and they don't mess around lol.

[@rh1507]

Oh the squirrels will come. We've got a peanut wreath and on occasion a squirrel will get a few peanuts.

[@wombatfeeder999]

I bought this and never got any birds...just squirrels but I enjoy feeding them 😃

[@geminifox475]

What about the sneaky squirrels?? Do they wipe out the feeder ??? I definitely would have that problem!!!

[@thewoodshop69]

Bluejays enjoy airpopped popcorn too. No butter or salt.

[@rebeccaoliver7977]

hmmm. Would squirrels enjoy popcorn? I'm hoping you say, "no." Maybe popcorn with hot sauce? :-)

[@fordmustang3265]

[@martdod]

Looks like a good idea but my pack of Stellar Jays would finish that off in minutes. First I had to foil the squirrels now I need to hold back the Jays as they are driving all the smaller birds away and hogging all the food. Where did you get the wreath feeder that may be a way to distract the Jays from the feeders since they are such peanut lovers.

[@marcopolo6756]

They clean me out in a few hours

[@sabrinafair35]

Great idea to keep away starlings!

[@darladowhaniuk1969]

That's Kool but...do they get to actually enjoy any of them or is it all just about working for them 🥴

[@TheAptz]

2:00 in after so much work and being harassed by the jays the woodpecker got one - yeah!

[@ckobo84]

Evidently their beaks are just made for pecking and not clamping.

[@corniss]

I woukd be afraid their feet woyld get caught

[@dorothyryan4480]

i go through bags of the shelled peanuts...birds love them. .when i put out peanuts with the shells the squirrels bury them...

[@marshalellison2041]

The only one who came to mine was a little Tufted Titmouse. I moved it, hoping for better results.

[@winnhill3736]

Titmouse is a great little bird that loves peanuts.

[@littlebuddysmom3944]

Do they have this on live

[@williamtaylor2412]

[@cosmocavicchio5252]

I would think the squirrels would empty that quickly. Is it squirrel proof? Otherwise it looks great.

[@leahsavoie3528]

Definitlely not squirrel proof.

[@olgakuchukov6981]

It’s a squirrel feeder. 😁

[@patrickmorgan5034]

You would have to get a pole and baffle set up for it to be squirrel proof

[@mdgraystone]

Nothing is.

[@drunkviggo7263]

Wow this is awesome !

[@joanneransing388]

Looks like you could make one with an old slinky toy

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

Also known as the stretchy bird feeder that dumps the peanuts on the ground

[@nickpaarlberg73]

What is the best way to get birds to use these? I have a black peanut wreath outside and I have only had squirrels use it. I moved it to a place where the squirrels can’t reach it because I don’t want to feed them yard rats. I have blue jays and downy woodpeckers visit other feeders in my yard, but now that the squirrels can’t get to it, it is just existing as a yard ornament. Any tips to gets blue jays and other birds to use it?

[@denniswebb7473]

When I bought one of these about six months ago, I couldn't get any jays to use it. But over time they learned how to land on it (which seemed to be the problem) and now when I fill it up, it is empty within a few hours. Do your jays come to your other feeders? If so, take those down part time for a while to get the jays to explore the wreath feeder.

[@nickpaarlberg73]

@@denniswebb7473 Thank you! Unfortunately I gave up on it after a few weeks. I returned it to Amazon. Now I use a clear suction window feeder. The squirrels and blue jays love the peanuts in it!

[@geeker211]

how do you fill it?

[@robertbrenner557]

It unhooks from one end. Like a loose spring. You separate from one side and pull it down a little. Fill the tube with peanuts and then hook it back on at the top.

Where can I buy this feeder? Is it in California???

[@TURDFerguson424]

Try the internet

[@denniswebb7473]

Wild Birds Unlimited, a chain store, has them.

[@MzChelxoxo]

I’ve had my wreath feeder for a month, and not a single bluejay or woodpecker has touched it. Yes, I even empty the old peanuts, and put new ones in. Ugh.

[@wmluna381]

Did they eventually take to it? Maybe pull some halfway out all around to get them used to easy pickings...?

[@MzChelxoxo]

@@wmluna381 I did that too and it didn’t work. Now I use the wreath as a squirrel feeder on the ground and the crows and squirrels love it. I use a platform feeder for peanuts in the shell on my squirrel proof bird feeder and the blue jays and red bellied woodpeckers love it.
