Re: Re: Birds eating Iris seeds

 

Nope. I assume the berry-like foetidissima and domestica are normally dispersed by birds, so I usually remove the seed heads.

On a distantly-related note, one year goldfinches were ripping up my bearded iris buds shortly before bloom. They would cling to the stalks and peck into the ovaries, presumably eating the undeveloped seed tissue.
