Some of the seeds have started sprouting. I buy cheap bird seed without paying attention to the ingredients so don't actually know what's sprouting but I did buy sunflower seeds last night so they'll be getting that. The birds here prefer the little black sunflower seeds and the mixed seeds are mostly mystery "filler" seeds that only the juncos and mourning doves will eat , I put out the sunflower seed with a small amount of the mixed seeds. They don't last long enough to sprout in the feeder but I do get volunteer sunflowers around the feeder and in the garden. I also accidentally feed the local magpies by putting out dry cat food for the strays. Magpies seem to like cat food. |

I watch YouTube Live 24/7 wildlife / bird feeders and it's amazing how many critters turn up at all hours. Magpies are pretty omnivorous as are crows and ravens. |
