Re feeding wild things....I have come to the realization that in many ways we are not doing wild things, incl. birds, a favor when we feed them. Often the seed we buy is already not fresh. Growing plants that they feed on and letting those plants go to seed is a much better plan for their long term survival. I see the desire to want the feeder outside a window, but really, we humans cannot keep us such activities for ever. At some point we stop feeding the birds (for many reasons, our lives are complicated) and we have untrained the wild things to find their own food. Best
That's an awful lot of distressing news, but I do so love the messenger! Thanks Patricia, for bringing light to the difficult issues which need our attention. And thanks for including me! (though I wish Medium would let me single space. Arrgh)
