I think they are probably in south Florida and Louisiana. I give birds the leftover seeds from rabbit food. they love it. (rabbits in the wild rarely eat seeds, but speciality pet food companies put seeds in the food. bunny eats all but seeds so I give seeds to the birds. birds are delighted.) |

Quoting: the Q ? gmo? they will eat the sunflower seeds though birds can tell a lot more than we can.

| MostlySunshine User ID: 46299613 United States02/13/2014 07:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in KY and I have seen a couple of them. Unfortunately I have a mockingbird chasing all the other birds away.  I find it weird though that I haven't seen any of the birds I usually get in the winter like the juncos or wrens. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone...ain't no borderline psychotic emotional outbursts either. Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. |
| beeches User ID: 28167778 United States02/13/2014 07:48 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | my bird observations this year are limited to my mom's question: have you seen a cardinal lately? I saw them often, but not right now or past few weeks. why would a cardinal try to fly into a window repeatedly, anyway? Fellow bird lovers, this cardinal did that repeatedly over several Sundays.

Also, a downy woodpecker eats at the suet feeder I have up, too. Northeast Pa., here. Crazy cat lady in training...

Quoting: the Q ? gmo? they will eat the sunflower seeds though I have the same problem, they love the sunflower seeds but that stuff mixed with corn they won't touch one bit, was wondering gmo That's very interesting. When I was younger I had a bunch of birdfeeders out for all sorts of birds and they ate all sorts of seeds. Now I wonder if they'll reject some of it bc the ingredients have surely changed since I was a kid.

Cardinals never left but oddly have seen no juncos at all. Just got a foot of snow and put some food out, will let you know if any new birds show up. Gen. John B Gordon and Gen.
