Most of those seeds would be scattered on the ground and Sunflower and Thistle seeds favoured. <br /><br />The other problem I had is that I would get weeds of sorghum growing. I think however if I had more quail and Doves that would have eliminated that problem. I actually did have them, but those birds prefered some distance from the house. Now here in Sweden I mostly feed with Thistle or Sunflower oil seeds.<br /><br />But great idea for those bottles those. Make sure it's a stout plastic one, as the newer cheapy bottles don't hold up over here. They practically crush in your hands here when you lossen the cap.Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130233686111186744.post-59930501880290100952012-04-02T23:32:21.136-07:002012-04-02T23:32:21.136-07:00I agree, birds eat a variety of things and will co...I agree, birds eat a variety of things and will continue to search for that variety.

Birds' diet is diverse. I think if they saw an insect their instincts would tell them to stop with the grain and chase after that insect!Permaculture Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537010654806460266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130233686111186744.post-28777696051922591532012-04-01T07:37:24.700-07:002012-04-01T07:37:24.700-07:00Wouldn't feeding the birds with seeds demotiva...Wouldn't feeding the birds with seeds demotivate them from properly controlling potential garden or farm pests ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
