Yummy

Thank you

I've been adding clovers to my mixed grass lawn , and it looks pretty good.

Superb❤️!!! Do not get left behind = 𝓟Ř𝔬𝓂𝔬𝐒ϻ

Excellent presentation.

Kathryn mentioned @ 19:44 and I often have on my channel in the past, platform feeders enable birds to easily deposit their potentially salmonella-contaminated droppings onto seed provided on them. Then , when birds ingest this contaminated seed they can become sickened with salmonellosis that can then be easily spread from bird to bird in a flock and larger populations the flocks belong to. As she also mentioned, there is a wave of salmonellosis in Pine Siskin populations, including here in Texas, and the culprit that likely spawned the wave is thought to be exposure for these Pine Siskins to dropping-covered bird feeders. Unfortunately, backyard birding is an unregulated, man-made hobby with man-made, avian disease-causing error built in, and especially through bird feeders that are designed and crafted to harbor droppings birds will be exposed to IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS! So, WHY THE HECK DOES CORNELL HAVE PLATFORM FEEDERS IN PLACE ON THEIR BIRDING WEBCAMS !! As if they don't know any better that these types of feeders are salmonella death traps for garden birds. Also, platform feeders make it possible for birds of different species to closely intermingle with each other as they never would in the wild, opening the window wide for them to pass pathogens to each other across species. Show some leadership, Cornell ! Platform feeders aren't the only types of bird feeders that harbor salmonella-laced bacteria on their non-perch surfaces birds can be exposed to IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS. Surfaces where droppings can accumulate that birds visiting feeders will be exposed to include smaller surfaces like flat top caps of thistle and seed tubes, and larger surfaces like relatively flat roofs of hopper-style feeders. No matter how small or large the surface, if salmonella-contaminated droppings can accumulate on them IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS, and birds can perch directly on these dropping-covered, contaminated surfaces, then it 100% of the time adds up to exposure for backyard birds to the droppings, and the harmful bacteria they can contain, including salmonella. Why am I shouting, "IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS?" It's because all too often sanitizing bird feeders once a week, once a month, etc. is seen as a silver bullet in preventing the spread of avian diseases like salmonellosis, when it's not. And, people that see it as a silver bullet tend to not be open to discussion about the reality of bird feeders that harbor salmonella-contaminated droppings birds will be exposed to, IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS. And that sad reality for garden birds and backyard birders is that when bird feeders provide surface area for bacteria-laced droppings to accumulate on that birds will be exposed to by being able to perch directly on those contaminated surfaces IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS, then it doesn't unfortunately matter whether the feeder was sanitized 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month previous. THERE ARE NO INHERENT QUALITIES IN ANY RECOMMENDED BLEACH SOLUTION THAT MAGICALLY ZAP THE BACTERIA OUT OF DROPPPINGS DEPOSITED ON FEEDER SURFACES AFTER IT HAS BEEN SANITIZED ! I liken bird feeders that harbor potentially salmonella-contaminated droppings on feeder surfaces birds will be exposed to IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS to the handle on the shopping cart at your local grocery store. Many grocery store chains are trying to be proactive these days by disinfecting shopping cart handles in between uses by customers in an effort to better prevent the spread of covid-19. What if shopping cart handles were only sanitized before the store opened in the morning, but not the rest of the day? Would sanitizing them once before the store opened be enough to keep them germ and virus free the rest of the day? No, it wouldn't, because just like sanitizing bird feeders ,THERE ARE NO INHERENT QUALITIES IN ANY RECOMMENDED DISINFECTING SOLUTION THAT WOULD MAGICALLY ZAP THE GERMS AND VIRUSES DEPOSITED ON THE SHOPPING CART HANDLES AFTER X# OF USES , BY X# OF CUSTOMERS OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY ! So, akin to germ and virus-infested shopping cart handles, bird feeders that provide all kinds of surface space for salmonella-contaminated droppings to accumulate on that birds will be exposed to IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS pose the same avian salmonellosis health threat, whether they're deposited on a feeder that's recently been sanitized, or one that's caked in droppings. In defense of backyard birders, they can only put in place feeders that are available to them on the open market. So, shifting the burden to them to keep feeders as dropping-free as possible, is unfair to say the least when feeders are designed and crafted to harbor bacteria-laced droppings birds will be exposed to IN BETWEEN FEEDER CLEANINGS. How is it that feeder producers and backyard birding retailers seem to never get confronted about this. After all, it's their products that they're profiting off of that are inferior in a sanitary sense for backyard birds and the backyard birder. There just isn't enough public pressure on them and there may never be to persuade them to change their ways. It's a 4 billion dollar a year industry in the US alone, so don't rock the boat, eh?

Fantastic 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️

Wth all due respect to your knowledge of invasive plants, the true menace in your video is your free roaming cat that could be killing 10-20 birds a day. Domestic cats that are free to roam are responsible for billions of bird deaths a year. Billions. Something as simple as a bell collar would help warn birds to fly away. Thank you.
