Careful out there.<br /><br />I used to feed the doves on the ground also, and the seed they liked best didn't attract anything else, even the squirrels. It was a white seed but I can't remember the name of it. The birds would come and look up at the kitchen window until I noticed there wasn't any seed left. I would love to feed the birds again but don't want feral cats and squirrels hanging around.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
