No gasses... but now it's July and hotter than Hades (as a general rule) in
Tennessee. Stirring brittle on the stove is not my idea of a good
summertime activity. Can the bird eat the raw shelled peanuts?

Sorry if I wasn't clear.
I would use them for myself or the birds unless the bag has begun to swell
from gas produced within.
I don't know if any people eat uncooked (roasted, boiled, etc.) peanuts.
They don't agree with me. Raw is what the birds do eat.
After a few trips to the southeast US, I am now a boiled peanut junkie. I
make them (in the shell) in the crock pot with sea salt and jerk seasoning;
then freeze them for snacks. Birdies get them pre-crockpot.

The only problem I have ever heard of with peanuts is mold. Because of the
way they are grown they can have a toxin caused by the mold, can't remember
what it's called Afl something ??? Anyway from what I have read it's
dangerous to humans as well as birds. The "food" grade peanuts sold for us
are supposed to have been checked for this. My Vet said she avoids peanuts
for this reason, and when she does feed them she shells them first. I guess
the problem is supposed to be the shells not the peanuts?

The offending fungi are called aflatoxins. They can be found in lots of
foods but peanuts and corn are the worst. We stopped using corn in our
live stock feed after several animals became sick and died. The feed was
contaminated and corn was the culprit. I admit to giving my birds the
occasional peanut, but they are mostly the unshelled variety.

Toxin is called Aflatoxin, it is both a poison, and a powerful
carcinogen. The issue isn't reallythe shell, the bird doesn't eat it
anyway.
The reason to shell the peanuts is you are likely to notice mold
growing inside the shell and/or onthe peanut. If you find it, don't
feed the peanut to your bird!

Nothing. There is no relationship between me and the fact that you are a
moron. If I go away, you'll still be a moron. If you go away, you'll still
be a moron.
