Johnston & Jeff Standard Peanuts. Johnston & Jeff choose Runner or Virginia varieties and find the best are generally Indian bold Chinese Virginia & South American Runner. These are high in oils proteins and energy and although marginally less specialised than their Premium Peanuts are an invaluable high energy and digestible food source.
Johnston & Jeff recommend that whole peanuts are only fed from a wire mesh feeder because smaller birds and fledglings can choke on them. It is for this reason that Johnston & Jeff do not include whole peanuts in any of their blends which can be fed from a tubular feeder or table top.
