My next door neighbor - who very much likes my roo and hen, thank goodness - reports that roo and hen are wolfing down at the speed of light the grass seed he is putting down, . I didn't see that one coming!
1) I feel bad for the guy as he'd like to grow grass in large bare spots and
2) I hope the grass seed is okay for my feathered friends. I imagine it's okay.
These 2 also stand beneath this guy's bird feeders and inhale everything knocked down by the birds above. Not much I can do about it except lock them up. They are locked up for part of the day and then I try to give them some free range time, which they beg for and truly relish (and you should hear this hen beg - there is no denying her!) .
They literally follow this neighbor around as he rakes, and gobble up the bugs he stirs up, so now he has an entourage. I offered to take them home anytime he wants but he said he likes their company (thank goodness!).He has resorted to putting temporary fencing around one grass-seeded area.
Thankfully (in a way) I recently gave permission to these folks to take down 3 of my trees as they were worried that the trees might someday in a storm fall on their house. Heartbreaking to lose the beautiful trees but I understood their worry. I've volunteered to plant some shrubbery in their place. . . So I'm hoping we're "even". I lost 3 grand trees and he's losing some (tho perhaps tons before its all over) grass seed!
