Makes sense. Nothing in the woods poops around a food source, natural or put there by man. Insert sarcasm toward the GW. lol.


I think the issue is when you artificially increase the number of birds feeding/pooping in a concentrated area the risk increases. Then there's the whole aflatoxin issue.

"Cull" is just another four letter word...
