Hi. I have a package of Golden grande Onion seeds. (Cebolla Grande Dorada) It's from Burpee. I bought it but did not even open it. It is from this year. I would love to trade for some of the bird egg gourd.

I have lots os Squirrels in my yard but ever since I set up two feeding stations for them in two different trees they don't bother my bird feeders. I put a mixture of Song Bird food & Squirrel food in their feeders & also have a couple of the holders that hold an ear of corn. Don't think you could put a lesser quality of food in their feeders & expect them to stay off the bird feeders if something better is offered there. It doesn't seem to take much to keep them happy & full, after all they are on the bird feeders because they are hungry just like the birds. I was surprised, they don't eat as much as I thought they did when they were on my bird feeders all the time. I found this recipe on the Garden & Flower Crafts Forum for making a Birdseed Wreath, plan to make some for Christmas gifts. I'm sure if you have a mold you could make any shape you'd want. I plan to use Songbird mix [sunflower seed, shelled peanuts, Safflower seed, dried raisins & dried cherries] in the wreaths I make. Here's the recipe if anyone is insterested, copied from this thread Birdseed Wreath Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups water 4 1/4 ounce pkgs. Knox unflavored gelatin 8 cups birdseed Boil 1 1/2 cup water. Empty the 4 packages of gelatin into 8 tablespoons of cold water in a large bowl. Let the gelatin sit for 1 minute. Add the boiling water and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until the gelatin has dissolved. Stir 8 cups of birdseed into the gelatin, mixing thoroughly. Let the mixture set for a few minutes, then stir again. Repeat this process a few times allowing the seed to absorb the liquid. Spoon the mixture into a greased bundt pan and put in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Remove the wreath from the mold by inverting the pan and tapping along the bottom. The pan may need to warm to room temperature before the wreath will come out. Allow the wreath to dry overnight or longer if necessary. (I found it needs to be on a cooling rack to let the air circulate.) Use several strands of raffia to form a loop to hang the wreath.

Okay great! Wheres the cheapest place to buy these in bulk? Costco also had a filler seed with their sunflower. I have to steralize ir in the oven now so it doesnt sprout anymore.

They'll avoid/not eat the seed if it's moldy. I wouldn't use it myself. Leslie
