Where to buy peanuts for feeding birds ?

I've looked in Migros, coop, and a couple of pet shops, but they only seem to have bags of mixed seeds.
Ideally I'm after a 5kg (or more) bag, unshelled.

I thought there was a law against feeding wild birds in Switzerland.

Re: Where to buy peanuts for feeding birds ?

I saw some unshelled nuts in Migros a couple of days ago. Obviously imported, at the time I remember thinking how expensive they were.I am going to state the obvious, but have you looked in a pet shop?

You're definitely not supposed to feed the swans and ducks on Lake Zurich. They were being fed far too much by "well-meaning" folk. The surplus bread rots and makes them ill

Landi are part of the Volg chain of shops. They tend to be located out in the sticks and sell lots of pet & outdoor stuff.

There home page can be found here.

Re: Where to buy peanuts for feeding birds ?

Landi is my favourite shop in Switzerland (how sad is that!)

Not just pet, farm and gardening stuff (all very cheap), they have tools, wine, working clothes etc. They even sell toys. Although only tractors and combines

They don't keep everything in stock but they do have a massive catalogue and will order specials for you. They even deliver.

BTW I have no financial connection with the company.
