If you put out peanuts you will drag all those squirrels from your neighbors feeders. Peanuts are more expensive than sunflower seeds or other seed but it will really bring them in. I used to feed the birds and squirrels when I lived in the city. The squirrels would not even touch the bird seed if the peanuts were out. You can buy shelled peanuts for bird feeders at your pet stores or grain elevators in 50lb bags.
