This isn't my yard, it's small farm environment that I go visit every week or two. I don't think they will find the seed if I show up and put it out. And if I spread it around on day A, it will be vacuumed up by every little bird by the time I come back on some future date. The farmer probably doesn't want me doing that anyway. I wish I could - sure makes it easier.
OK, you guys convinced me! I'll give it a try!
I have heard that starlings will respond to a starling distress call that a lot of the electronic callers have. Just got a caller recently so I hope to try that soon.
