    That's why I don't feed seed mixes.  There's too much waste because birds will only eat what they like and toss the rest -- as you've discovered.  Many seed mixes, especially cheaper mixes, have filler seeds like red millet which most birds don't like (doves and juncos love white millet, however).  I feed primarily black oil sunflower seed in two tube feeders (one for clinging birds like woodpeckers and finches) and a perch feeder, but I also feed cracked corn on the ground for pigeons and mourning doves and peanuts for the bluejays and cardinals.  I also provide suet cakes.  This winter I will put out white millet in a low covered platform feeder for the dark-eyed juncos that visit my yard.

    Are you talking about Milo?

    Millet Is Good; Milo is Bad – Backyard Birds | The Bird Food .


    The names are similar. Both are little round seeds that get kicked to the ground. Millet gets eaten (unless your mix is too heavy in millet), but milo is a filler – birds don't like it. Be careful about using most commercial mixes from the grocery store or big box stores."

    This is hardly a solution though is it. An option to turn off the commentary would be better so if people wanted to they could just see the game with the crowd noise. Does this option exist anywhere? If so I've never seen it.

     

    Personally I don't mind the announcers, even the bad ones I can live with.

    Even Beth Mowins? I hope we never get her again.

    After 45 minutes on the phone with my Dad you would understand 😛

    Haha... I completely understand, my Dad is 88 and won't use his smartphone for anything but phone and even that is kind of iffy. No texting or anything, says it's too much of a bother.

    You do have to program in the digital stations.  I've found in the past that I had to move the antenna around to catch certain stations, since some stations come from different directions. .  

    Hmm, I thought all you have to do is hit "channels I get", let it run through that, and you're done. That's how it worked here, only had to do it once. We don't have to move the antenna around but do live pretty close to Tampa... probably so if a bit more rural.

    I've thought for a second about telling my (89 yr old, technology challenged) dad to grab one, but the idea of trying to explain to him over the phone how to hook it up is enough to dissuade me.  It's what nightmares are made of :)

    I don't get all the fuss about hooking it up. You plug the antenna cord into the tv and that's it. I have a Roku tv but aren't they all the same? Then you just chose "antenna tv" or "live tv" with the remote. There is no switching anything out.

    Don't want it coming out of my pocket.

     

    “President Biden continues to propose budget-busting student loan bailouts that would force 87 percent of Americans who do not have student loan debt to bear the costs of the 13 percent of Americans who do,” Thune said in a statement this week. “It’s incredibly unfair to those who never incurred student debt because they didn’t attend college in the first place or because they either worked their way through school or their family pinched pennies and planned for higher education.” 

     

    “Our resolution protects the 87 percent of Americans who don’t have student debt and will be forced to shoulder the burden of the President’s irresponsible and unfair policy,” Cassidy added.

    Paul Pelosi sold $3 million worth of Google stock a month prior to the DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit

    Here's a good laugh...

     

    "Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery," Pelosi wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote."

    Wait until next week when the Direct TV viewers in the Buffalo viewing area start complaining they can't get Channel 4.  

     

     

    Lol. It's been mentioned over and Over... go to walmart and get a $30 antenna... problem solved. If anyone in Buffalo can't get channel 4.. or 2 or 7 or any local channels it's on them. Actually, they might be able to screw the DTV cable into their antenna receptor as a free antenna.
