No, Ditter, I did NOT know that. That is valuable information, and I thank you for sharing with us! I think my GF’s toss out more seed than they eat, but that gives the quail and ground sparrows food. (Oh - and the little pocket gopher, who pops out, grabs a mouthful and disappears back into his little hole!)

I am trying to remember what they said about the fresh thistle, something like it gives out a halo that the birds can see. I bought a large bag of thistle at Petco and even though I could see the GF feeding at the other feeder they would not go near the thistle. I mentioned this at an old fashioned feed store (Wabash) right in the middle of Houston (if you can imagine that) and they told me about checking for oil. I checked and found no oil in the old thistle, put the fresh thistle and the GF were all over it in 15 minutes or less.
