motty Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I suppose at times pigeons may eat them, but I can't say I've seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goober Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I had an acre of sunflower/maize two years ago,plenty of finches but not much else that I noticed. Finches have just started feeding on the seed of this years kale/mustard/turnip mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitetail Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Two winters back there was a unharvested field of sunflowers near Spalding , I travelled by it most weeks and there were hundreds of pigeons feeding on it. I've also seen pigeons feeding on sunflowers in cover crops so you might get a shoot if your farmer harvests them late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Essex Hunter Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I suppose at times pigeons may eat them, but I can't say I've seen it. They plant a block of them between me and Peter....I had shot 8 on a return line stuffed to the brim so I rang him up...and said they have sunflower seeds in! So he said must be out of a garden, I replied ######ing big garden!! As they had come from behind me I followed the rough line and found a big block of them....Cant shoot it but it would be nice if we could TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
