I was in Costco yesterday and saw their wild bird seed mix is now $15.00 for a 40 # box, 4 months ago it was $11.00. I have been using white millet from the local wild bird store. I’ll call tomorrow and see what 50# are. I prefer it to the mix because of rats and skunks are more attracted to the mix on the ground.
Yeah. Our feed prices have gone up tremendously. We get nearbout a tractor trailer load every two weeks, and I think everything went up almost a dollar a bag.
Our 20-25lb mix is 8.95 or close. Weird thing this year and I mentioned it to Swamp sniper on one of his threads, said he’d noticed the same thing. We don’t have any small birds—unususal for us this time of year. I guess the drought has driven them elsewhere.
I got 3 feeders for Christmas. They’ve been up since a couple days after. I’ve seen one little tweetybird at the feeders, some type of wren, I think.
Whar do you have that will eat white millet? As far as I can tell, even when we have birds, that’s waht they scratch out on the ground. The little white pea looking seeds, or are we talking about something different?
We have rats, living right on the marsh like we do. Nasty things. Fortunately, no stunks, as my youngest called the one and only skunk he ever smelled. :)
