Nuts In Shells

A natural treat for garden birds and curious squirrels

Bucktons Nuts in Shells are a simple, natural way to add variety to your garden feeding routine. Left in their shells, these whole peanuts provide enrichment as well as nutrition, encouraging birds and squirrels to work for their food just as they would in the wild.

Perfect for placing on bird tables, feeding trays or dedicated squirrel feeding stations, they're a great choice for anyone who enjoys watching wildlife up close.

Why we like it

Whole nuts in their shells offer more than just a tasty snack—they encourage natural foraging behaviour and can keep visiting wildlife occupied for longer. They're especially popular with squirrels, but larger garden birds such as jays and magpies also enjoy carrying them away to store for later.

If you're hoping to keep squirrels away from your bird feeders, try placing these nuts in a dedicated squirrel feeding station at the opposite end of your garden. It can help reduce competition at your bird feeders while still giving squirrels something they'll love.
