JDog Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I do not think that they will be going for the sprouting barley. As it has been dry the spillage on top has not germinated and that maybe what they are going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I've never noticed pigeons attacking the new growth. Are you sure there is nothing else that they're feeding on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
