RE: rats & birdseed

Hum.... my birds are really messy types. Tend to spill and displace as much
as they can as soon as they can. (they are only allowed one 'fill' per day,
so they better get there early to get any).

So do you still find seed everywhere, or is it just due to the shells that
mine are making this mess?

And the first time I see a rat at the birdfeeder, we may never have a
birdfeeder here again!
