March is National Peanut Month
and
March 1 is Peanut Butter Lovers' Day
According to the National Peanut Board, the average American consumes more than 6 pounds of peanuts and peanut butter products each year.
However, humans aren't the only creatures that enjoy this protein-packed legume. Many bird species, such as jays, chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers, prefer peanuts. Other species that have a harder time accessing meat through the shell enjoy suet with peanut butter or ground peanuts as ingredients. Why not celebrate the month by bringing this nut to your backyard friends?
