Feeding Birds . . and People

I've been neglecting the back-yard birds lately. It's been about 3 months since I've filled my many feeders. I'm not sure why - just got too busy. Now it looks like I may face higher prices at the birdfeed stores when I resume feeding. The Birdchick blog tells us why.

This is interesting because it combines my interest in nutrition with birding. Apparently the price of sunflower seeds is on the rise due to the increased use of sunflower seed oil (a healthier alternative) in cooking.
