also our social culture is matriarchal but the entire system is somehow a misogynist patriarchy. Its a mix. Its our PRECOLONIAL culture surviving still clashing with the forced colonial identity given to us by our oppressors. I suggest we turn gay and make women fully rule ✨😆
That bag of cheap wild bird seed is mostly food your birds are going to throw on the ground, where mice will eat it.
The big reddish round grain in most budget seed mixes is milo, also called sorghum. It's cheap, it's heavy, and it fills the bag. Most songbirds, the chickadees, cardinals, finches, nuthatches that people actually want to see, largely ignore it or toss it aside in search of better seeds.
The leftovers pile up under the feeder, absorb moisture, and can sprout in spring. More importantly, spilled seed is one of the main reasons feeders attract rodents.
A lot of inexpensive blends are mostly low-value filler. So that $15 bag may contain far less bird food than you think.
The easiest fix is to buy straight black-oil sunflower seed. It attracts the widest variety of birds, produces much less wasted seed, and gives you more food that birds actually want. Add white proso millet in a separate ground feeder if you'd like to attract doves and native sparrows.
Read the ingredients on the back of the bag. If milo, wheat, or oats are near the top, keep looking.
when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live...recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it...... that's the real shit
