Black-oil sunflower seed is the most universally eaten seed at bird feeders. But there are many other seeds and foods to offer to birds. What is most popular with your birds depends on where you live and what birds are present. For more bird feeding tips, check out our backyard booklet Enjoying Bird Feeding More.

Different types of birds eat different types of birdseed. Birds with big, strong bills can crack the shells of large seeds, like striped or black oil sunflower. Birds with smaller bills eat smaller seeds, like milo or safflower seed. The American Goldfinch, our state bird, eats tiny seeds called Niger (or thistle) seed. Mixed seed in a feeder can attract a variety of different birds, from Northern Cardinals, to the beautiful gray Tufted Titmouse, to the chattery little Carolina Chickadee.

Adopt six or seven cats. Seriously, though, cover the seed with one quarter inch of topsoil, pat down or roll gently. The faster it sprouts, the more you keep and the less the birds eat. You can also slit an old tennis ball and force it over the end of a six- to seven-foot piece of old garden hose. Draw two mean eyes and a nasty mouth, and place yellow strips of tape like Xs down the hose. Let this lie on the seeded area until the seed sprouts. Why? The birds think it’s a snake.

No, they won't. "Your" birds visit many feeders in your neighborhood, and find food in many locations. It is nice to have someone fill your feeders when you are on vacation, but if that's not possible, you won't come home to emaciated birds! Even though feeders do help birds get through the long northern Indiana winter, they still find other things to eat and still sample food from others' feeders.

Studies have shown that black oil sunflower is favored by most seed-eating birds, probably because of the higher oil content. But, it's best to let the birds tell you. Put out some of each and see which is preferred by the birds at your feeding station.

A seed is the mature ovule of a plant. It contains all the genetic material and stored energy within to grow into a plant similar to its parent plants, if growing conditions permit. Seeds are of all different shapes, sizes and colors quite amazing

There is disagreement among ornithologists about what constitutes a species, but James F. Clements's Birds of the World: A Checklist (1999) states that there are a little more than 9,800 species worldwide. of December 1999, 984 species have been recorded in the United States. This however includes Hawaii, which is not part of the North American continent. In North America north of Mexico, 906 species have been recorded, and in the lower 48 states, 834 species.

quot;Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" written by Charles Mackay about 100 years ago. It's about the gullibility of people throughout history, and what lengths they will go to to try and beat the three things that humans will never be able to avoid in their lives -- toil, death, and ignorance of the future. He finds that aspect of human nature fascinating. back

Since it's my goal to create only tobaccos that I really enjoy, I'm not sure I could ever name a favorite. At any given time, the blend I'm developing is the one that gets all of my attention - I can really only concentrate on one blend at a time. Perhaps favorite is the wrong choice of words; certainly any blend becomes my obsession until it's ready to go.

It is the law. Arizona and the Federal government both have laws outlining and regulating the way seed is to be sold in the state. The definitions and protocols are quite specific as to what is to be done, how it is to be done, and when it is to be done. It is consumer protection. Anyone that goes into an establishment to buy seed needs to know that the seed in that package is what the labeler claims it is and that it will perform at a certain level.

Seed implants (Brachytherapy) is a relatively noninvasive radiation treatment relative to surgery. One of the disadvantages with seed implants is that if the cancer is not destroyed (the seeds didn't work), then surgery is no longer an option. For me personally, I did not want to take that risk so I elected for surgery.

The goal of interstitial seed therapy is to cure prostate cancer. With this in mind, the candidate should have a life expectancy of more than 7 to 10 years and no underlying illness that would interfere with the effectiveness of this therapy.*

Growing trees from seed is multiple step process including collection of seeds, removal of outer protective coverings, storage over the winter, planting and maintaining in a seedbed for one to three years. More information is available by contacting the Foundation, your cooperative extension office, urban or state forester, or through a local university program on dendrology.
