Suitable peanuts for birds

Hi everyone, here I am again, struggling with proper food for birds. Item today is peanuts. Of course I know I cannot give ordinary peanuts for human supply but I am wondering: are the peanut seeds, those used in agriculture to grow peanut plants, suitable for bird feeders? In fact, here in Sardinia it is quite impossible to find peanuts for birds in pet shops and I noticed that ordering them online from UK can be quite expensive. I am looking for a safe alternative. Of course, the seeds I mentioned are for organic agriculture and quite popular here. I grow them myself in my vegetable garden so I am quite sure they are organic.Shall I use them or not? Thanks! Tiziana
