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. :)
Here in Eureka our Winter ground feeders are Juncos, White crowned, Song, Fox, other Sparrows and Morning Doves. At the hanging feeders we have Chestnut backed Chickadee, Nut Hatches and a occasional House Finches.
White Millet is a grass seed about the size of Poppy Seed or a little bigger.
My first Wife has a question for you. She can no longer grow Flowering Sweet Peas here because the soil has some kind of virus (Mosaic) that attacks the plants. Are there any treatments short of a Nuclear device?
