What do you feed the birds?

a solution to the germinating seed is to microwave seed for 3-5 minutes then cool down before feeding birds

This cooks the seed so it won't be able to germinate. It is a little more work for feeding but does the trick

That's a great idea, Laurel, thanks. I spoke with a birder friend today who recommended that I not feed the birds during the summer while there's plenty of food around. This is a good idea also, but I'll keep the humming bird feeder out all year. There's a few hummers around our house all year and they're great to watch.

Thanks to everyone for your kind responses.
