[mou] Bird feeder problems

[Dennis/Barbara Martin]

Bye bye Starling does not work on grackles and redwings.  It is only for
starlings.  Instead you should buy Safflower which is not liked by any of
the blackbirds but is eaten by cardinals, chickadees, grosbeaks, and a few
other species.  Yes, you will have less activity but you will have some
cardinals and chickadees.
