I've puzzled over this for awhile, and I'm embarrassed to say that I just don't understand how peanut feeders work! I like the feeder pictured: it looks incredibly sturdy and well made, and I'm definately tempted to buy it. But I'm stumped by it!

I look at a bag of peanuts (out of the shell) for the birds, and I look at the holes in this feeder, and I just can't figure out how the birds can get a too big peanut out of the too small holes! Can someone please enlighten me? And don't laugh too hard!
