Index of Subjects All: I hesitate to add to this discussion given the lack of any controlled experiment on the issue, but I did note last year that my black sunflower seeds that had been kept over from a previous year, and possibly two, were not much used by visitng birds until I replaced then with fresh stock. I don't know why they were rejected - no evident mould, e.g. - but maybe they had lost volatile lipids or become a little rancid. I wonder if suppliers/dealers sometimes market old stock. I don't like the wide over-application of pesticdes, but everything I have read suggests that Roubndup and the like are unlikely to be detected by or hazardous to seed-eating birds. Cheers, Ian McLaren
