We try to buy American. It is getting harder and harder.

It sure is!

I was thinking earlier how it used to be a big deal for Walmart to have stuff made in the USA. Now even the vegetables are grown in another country.

I don't remember when the "made in America" slogan disappeared. It's a shame, really. Everyone, and every government, should strive to be as self sufficient as possible. It's just common sense.

Confirmed with the kid the bunnies will move to his place next weekend. He’s getting their indoor pen as well as I no longer have space for it with the fruit trees.

I’m really hating the idea of putting a run in the small yard. Our biggest issue is that the pigeons can eat which is really what keeps them coming back. Another user here found this site

https://revolutionarychicken.com/shop/

with what is supposed to be a mouse proof, pigeon proof feeder. From what I can see the feeding port is too deep for the pigeons to eat and they won’t be able to reach the feed with the hood on there. You can purchase the feeder or just the ports to build your own. I’m also going to try two styles of water cups this summer. I ordered one set already that requires the birds to peck a lever so the cups fill with water. I’ll order the second set that fills when the bowl is empty next weekend. Bought a couple of two gallon buckets today for this project.

Coming on nicely especially considering the heat.
