    Costs

    The price of feed is spiraling out of control. I shall have to cut back on the amount I feed. Wheat £5.75/ bag £2.50 last year, sunflower harts £19 up from £15, bag of British finch £18.5/bag, peanuts up from £18 to £23. And all because they are turning it into Biofuel. Now thats progress.:C
