If they have not become wet/damp and moldy and have been stored in a dry place they should be just fine. If they look smutty, fuzzy, moldy, no, don’t feed ‘em.

They will attract bugs in the hot months. And check for mousie corpses. The rodents will chew through the bags to get at the food.

Let the birds decide. Put some out and see what happens. If your feathered friends shun them, use for compost.

I bet that they are fine, even with a weevil or two. Many birds eat insects also.

@gailcalled The spring Oak caterpillar hatch is in full swing over here, little green worms hanging from all the trees and the birds are feasting. I had bluebirds, warblers, flycatchers and kinglets galore this morning. A bountiful spring buffet of little green worms for all those hungry little hatchlings. :-D

Pictures,please. I, OTOH, just noticed that one of my double-knockout roses, part of a pair I planted last fall, was almost completely defoliated

A deer or rabbit must have been traumatized by the full moon last night.

And I thought that I was never going to allow myself to get enraged ever again.

Haha, yes, some of my best rages are upon discovering my stripped plants, usually my morning glories…gone overnight…Grrrr. I gotta go take some more spring pics but am lazing away today. lol
