IaGary Gooday y'all . MikeM is 1/2 right - Plant a Walmart on top of them - cause that's where they are comming from . Mark-MD is 1/2 right - the Parrot seed no-doubt containing thistle seeds may be sterile BUT That's not what I observe . I have 180 pr of breeding Parrots . I have a strict " MAKE-TIME ' regimen of containment ( for all my neighbours sakes ) . I only grow them in a shed covered with both 100 % shade-cloth plus a layer of very fine wire fly-screen and harvest them & feed them back to my Parrots.That's where the $'s are !! I'm not saying the following you will like or want to hear however it is " the way it is " Parrots thrive on thistles = Healthy parrots are happy Parrots and breed lots of healthy/happy baby Parrots = Very happy owners who spend Millions of $'s/yr in the US , Canuck-land , Europe & down here buy Thistles . That is where the money is & lots of it . There are 10's of 1000's of Parrot owners in the US . They spend ( foolishly or not ) millions of $'s/yr on their very spoilt pets . On my old(er) age pension I couldn't afford this small rural property & couldn't think of having this MF 165 & slasher
( my new love-affair ) let alone buy the diesel & oil to run it , if it weren't for the non-taxable profit I make from my Parrots . Not trying to start an arguement here just trying to think out-side-the-square ( some say outside this planet ) Was only trying to help - Highland-cowman says his cattle can't get enough of them - so sell all the thistles to him & make some $'s ( 1/2 tongue in cheek - 1/2 the truth ) Do remember - Many a truth said in jest & 'der's money in dem-dere hills . Gary , you would be suprised I'm sure that a lot of Parrots ( some as pets & some as breeders ) sell for $ 7 1/2 to $20 thou dollars US for a 4 month old baby . I know all this must sound " out-there " with the tooth-fairies " but there is a fortune in that lousy Thistle weed of yours . Ciao from down-under , james ( oh & I'll stay here -you'll say - for sure , for-sure )
