Can I feed peanuts all year round as long as I use a mesh feeder? |

Hi S, yes, I think it's fine all year round. In spring and summer feeding them like this may help them raise their young.
One thing that's important is to clean your feeders regularly.
(A little job for you there LOL  )

Mrs Stinkhorn will have to do that for me. So far my bird of the day is a grey squirrel. |

I tend to take the mesh peanut feeders in as the breeding season approaches and crush the peanuts. I am always a bit wary that large pieces of nut could harm the young in the nest, especially the newly-hatched.

I'd just be grateful for anything other than the squirrel eating from my mesh feeder!!!  |

When you say "mesh" do you mean the red mesh feeders that the nuts come in? |

I always chop mine but as HW says, providing the feeder is strong and they can't get a whole nut out,all should be well. | | | |
