So I’m wandering around in my garden looking at all the native plants that produce little seeds that the birds eat and I went from there to ruminating about how my neighbors all feed the birds, and buy bird seed at supermarkets, pet stores, and even online.
And then I thought about how it is probable that all that bird seed is grown with pesticides (because you certainly would want to maximize your bird seed productivity if you were selling it), and stored with pesticides (if you’re going to take the time to grow it you certainly would want to increase storage life). All so that we can feed the birds in our backyard after we have removed their native food sources. Wonderful!
