When there are snow and ice on the ground for days or weeks, birdseed and suet really matters. The birds flock outside of Maria’s studio window all day. The chickens and dogs scavenge the seed that isn’t eaten when it falls to the ground.
It feels good to see them fed in what has become a harsh and somewhat unrelenting winter.
I recommend black oil sunflower seeds, which have been a hit at my feeder.
Yes we have been using sunflower for years..
