What is this, a pile of seeds?

Sunflower seeds! Something else he pleads!

It is ludicrous I say,

Who do I have to pay?

Peanut butter with seeds may meet my needs!

    Dear Mrs. D ~ So Cute ~ Each morning we have (2) BlueBirds (I think they're married) sitting on our porch waiting for their helpings of unsalted peanuts; they just carefully take them out of our fingers. The Gardener messed with them one day; we fired him. - Always my pleasure - Jay Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Author Community -

    Dear Denise ~ Luv Peanut 'butta ~ Funny: As explained in my "Wheelchair Etiquette" I have been having experiences with my new 'Lectric chair. Just this morning my Zillion Hummingbirds, that love my flowers, followed me on 'Attack' Mode to my 'Humming' Motors down the sidewalk.
