This afternoon there were several juncos at our feeding station. Despite multiple other offerings, 3 of them flew up to a side porch railing and began attempting to use a Niger seed sock. Not being able to hang from it and pull out the seed, they perfected a different method. They took turns standing on a block of wood on the railing, so they were about 8" below the sock, then they jumped up and butted the sock with their head. This dislodged 2 or 3 seeds at a time which they gobbled up! Everything is quiet out there now but this behavior lasted for about 20 minutes.Colleen Richards ____________________________________________________________ This Simple Step To Flawless Skin gundrymd.com http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/58a623ba6ad6923ba3957st01duc --
