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.

Esto no solo ocurre con la alimentación, también con la electrónica o la ropa, en el desierto de Atacama (Chile) miles de toneladas de ropa a estrenar de grandes tiendas son arrojadas por la industria textil occidental.

Aquí es donde acaba la ropa de Occidente, llevan su basura a África, América y Asia mientras mantienen el ciclo consumista al mismo precio, evitan bajar los precios de sus prendas, manteniendo la exclusividad y la escasez artificial.

Solo un ignorante o un perturbado puede defender este sistema criminal capitalista, que prefiere desechar productos para mantener el consumismo antes que repartirlos a millones de pobres descalzos.

Tokyo'da 10 binlerce kişi meclis binası önünde ABD ve israile destek verdiği için başbakanı istifa'ya çağırdı.

japon halkı aptal değil el altından hükümetin bebek katili sionistlere destek verdiğinin farkına varmışlar ve masum insanların tarafını tutarak tepki veriyorlar.

#DIDYOUKNOW: Kelp forests reach heights of 175 feet and are home to thousands of species.

And that's not all — kelp and other marine algae can capture and store carbon dioxide, making these ecosystems vital to the fight against climate change.

There is a spiritual sickness so deep! This is just the tip of the iceberg! But the question really becomes not so much to be preoccupied with the sickness, but rather how do we talk about regeneration, revitalization, and a renaissance of integrity, honesty, decency, and service to the least of these! #TruthJusticeLove

When winter freezes waterways, the Coast Guard gets to work. From the Great Lakes to the Northeast to the Mid-Atlantic, our domestic icebreakers are facilitating commerce in response to ice impacts to navigation on our waterways. We continue to recapitalize our icebreaker fleet to maintain access to critical waterways and infrastructure, and ensure energy security when Americans need it most.
