While these little beauties were eating me out of house and home, I have found a bird seed that they don’t seem to like, Safflower seed. So at least for now they are hanging around hoping I go back to the old seed! No chance of that as the Crows and squirrels don’t like Safflower seed either. Talking about killing 2 birds with one stone, bad pun I know.

Mourning Doves are usually ground feeders.


This one however, had other ideas!
