Fill it with sunflower seed. They'll soon be all over it. :-)) I still
have birds on my feeders and they're nesting already.

Hopefully you're talking the shelled kind?

No. The "messy" kind. ;-) The feeders are out on the lawn so the hulls
just rot into the grass. Anything spilled is eaten by the wild doves.


I've slowly been moving away from the shells, what a mess. Course if it
was
just birds it probably wouldn't be so bad. I have squirrels that eat & eat
&..... Why I've gone to the shell-less. I'm really thinking of weighing
both types and seeing just what is the break down price-wise.

The neighbor's cats and Golden Retriever have discouraged squirrels (and
rabbits) from coming close to the houses anymore.

Maybe someone has already done that? 50 lb bag w/shells, yields how many
lbs. of seed? I wonder if ask.com would know? ~ jan

Post back and let us know.
