In honor of this thread, Liz, today I visited the local establishment with everything BIRDS. Houses, perches, books, and of course, seed. I picked up some premium bird seed for the various small birds, a mix that comes without a couple of the fillers that usually occupy a lot of space in commercial bags of seed but that don't do birds any good. And I picked up a mesh sack and a bag of thistle seed. Oddest stuff to spoon into the bag. The static electricity around the plastic and with the dry air gave it a life of its own.

I'll watch eagerly to see how long it takes some of the finches and cardinals to discover the need seed and that extra seed hanger!
