beej, yes I need to get more supplies of wild bird seed. I have wood pigeons, collared doves and blackbirds to look after. - and they glare at me when I go out because they're reduced to the stuff they hate. They like the black sunflower seeds the best. I bought a large supply of ONLY black sunflower seeds thinking I was doing them a favour but they never touched any of it. They flew down, had a look and flew off again. I then had to resort to buying mixed wild bird food and mixed all the black sunflower seeds IN to that. Know what? - they flew down and ate all the black sunflower seeds, ONLY, and disappeared again. Bird brains right enough !!
