norma Hi Lois, Thanks for the help. Kind of figured they were the same, but wanted to be sure for the birds sake! Will look into the hulled seed versus Nyger (Black Gold) we call it because of the price and decide which way to go. Squirrels etc are a concern too, so I use feeders which repel them. Less waste could also mean less other rodents like rats and raccoons too!

Hopefully it moves on, though they are around. One day last summer around 5:30 am there were 3 in the middle of the road here I saw whilst going to work. > > > > Cheers, > > Gary Murray > > > > Tucker Lake > > NS > > > > > > > > Cheers, > > Gary. > > >
