I wouldn't give then popcorn popped in oil .. might consider air popped popcorn in very small quantities. Still, raw popcorn would be best for the birds.
Yes, peanuts are like crack for pigeons. Put a bowl of peanuts out and a bowl of well balanced seed out and you'll find that the peanuts is all they'll eat and in short order, all you'll have is overweight birds. But to each his own.
it is better for them unpopped, why go through the trouble... and as said there are other treats to give like the peanuts and safflower seeds or shelled sunflower seeds. fine chopped greens too.
