Here are two web sites that tell you about the bird poisonings: http://www.wildbirds.org/news/redwing.htm ; Also, http//:www.aphis.USda.gov/ws/nwrc/research/sunflowers.htm ;TheU.S.Department of Agriculture(USDA)proposal to kill by poison 2 million red-winged blackbirds for 3 years.Originally scheduled to start in Spring is delayed. It started last year,birds by the dozens lying dead everywhere. Insects more numerous, and more destructive,as there were not enough birds to keep the numbers down. You can e-mail Ann Veneman to complain,and ask for her help to stop this. Her e-mail address is : [email protected]
