Fuzzy starlings



This is a group of starlings eating sunflower seeds off the ground and drinking out of my old cereal dish. When the bowl developed a cracked we handed it down to the birds as a drinking dish. The starlings insist on washing their feet or taking a bath in it and also manage to pollute it with sunflower seed shells as well. There are oodles of house sparrows visiting the feeder and they dump seeds on the ground. I have run out of seeds even though I bought a sack about a month ago.
My usual supplier is out so I had to pay ten dollars for a lighter large plastic bag the probably will not last more than a couple of weeks. Seems there is inflation in bird seed as well as energy.
