NESTING TIME
Due to low demand, All No
Mess LM seed blend will be
discontinued
Cavity nest builders are hard at work seeking nest sites and
preparing for this year’s brood. You can assist by supplying
them with the proper size of nest box. Hole size, depth and
easy clean out are essentials to keep predators out and to
prevent re-infestation from last year’s nesting materials. As
a finishing touch we have different types of nesting material for the birds to use to finish lining the nests as shown
on the What’s New pages.
