Re: [mou-net] Chickadees on marijuana

[birdnird57]

And there must be many versions of hemp. I have a wild version that is 
impossible to kill off. My great grandpa in Morrison County used to have a 
difficult time getting rid of his version so livestock wouldn’t get into it. 
Grandpa had to slash n burn. I at least have the advantage of weed killers. And 
I would guess what is being licensed to grow for CBD and other commercial use 
is different too. From my farm publications it is a variety that doesn’t 
produce the THC that is mind altering. It’s pretty strictly regulated. 

Back to bird feeding I’ve not seen birds taking seed from what we have here 
that’s wild. But then I try to burn it down before it seeds. I do have another 
invasive weed that I watched white throated sparrows feed on seeds yesterday. 
I’m just glad someone appreciates that noxious invasive.

Apparently, pigeons will eat hemp seeds. When the U.S. Congress first began
criminalizing marijuana use in the late-1930s (first by issuing a tax on
it, not actually criminalizing it), bird seed companies (at the last
minute) tried to interject, seeking an exception for seed production for
pigeons. They argued that the seeds were indispensible to the production of
healthy squabs; other seeds "changed the character" of the bird. (My source

Re: [mou-net] Chickadees on marijuana

[Laura Erickson]

I was one of the people in Carrol Henderson's study offering the hemp seeds
at my feeder in Duluth--didn't have any takers, either. But it's possible
the difference is that the hemp seed in the experiment was "industrial
hemp," not "psychoactive hemp."

Re: [mou-net] Chickadees on marijuana

[sparky stensaas]

Ha! This is exactly what Carrol Henderson was working on...
Hemp seeds were used as a bird seed many years ago.
Last year he had many of us test hemp seeds in our feeders to see if this was 
still a viable commercial operation.
Results were mixed...No birds ate it up in Sax-Zim Bog feeders.
But obviously Rochester chickadees like it!
