One of the problems with conventional peanut feeders is that the nuts at the bottom of the container are inaccessible to medium and large size birds who perch on the mesh.
The nuts get wet due to rain and go mouldy.
I have found a solution to this problem which is to insert a suitably sized plastic lid (eg from a spray can) into the mesh container so as to raise the peanuts up to beak level and assist drainage. See attached photo. Another issue with current feeders is that the mesh is too small making it difficult for birds to extract nuts. I improve this by enlarging the holes with a screwdriver. However it would be better if manufacturers improved their designs and observed their products in use. Anyone looking?
