That reminds me, I have to make some more hummingbird juice. Now I just have to catch and squeeze a few dozen hummingbirds..(just kidding — it only takes 3 or 4 fat ones)
Anyone with bird feeders has lots of cool stories, I’m sure. For many years we lived in a semi-rural area, and birds of all sizes visited our feeders..One season we had a mallard pair that appeared. I tossed out two slices of bread to them. The female ate out the centers. After waiting politely, the male ate the crusts. Every day they would land in the yard at 10 AM and waddle to our back door, quacking loudly until I tossed out the bread. That lasted about three weeks, and then we never saw them again.
I understand the NorthEast is overcrowded with Canadian Geese who repeatedly fail to fly South every winter like they should because they’ve grown accustomed to Human Hand-Outs.
Geese eat plant matter, insects, fish, rice and corn. Bird seed is no better for them than bread. If she wants to feed that stupid goose, she should go to the feed store and get poultry pellets.

The seed is for song birds. Not game birds…

I put out nectar for the hummingbirds, but the woodpeckers routinely raid it.
