-> Just maize? Try several dishes..parakeet seed, wild bird seed and
-> Purina
Thanks Fran. He's going great guns now.   Turns out his owner had
been feeding him a chicken-feed that looked like oatmeal sort of.  I
disguised his maize and he kicked it around for ra while, then started
gobbling it up.
-> was parakeet seed, but I offered several of the others that I
-> mentioned above.
I'll see if he likes wild-bird seed.  We keep a supply of that too since
Dee loves to feed the wild finches. Our bird bath has been a RIOT this
last month...  I've NEVER seen so many Grackles before.  We had a forty
acre sorghum field behind our house and since they harvested it the
birds have been getting more numerous by the day.
-> point in history I had about 16 doves in a large flight.
I envy you the ability to take care of that many!  I'm still agonizing
over getting this one a companion.  He's in therre now cooing, seeing
how long he can make his neck!  When he sits on his west perch he can
see himself in the medicine cabinet mirror if he stretches his neck.
He'll coo a while, then crane to see if his mirror friend is paying
attention.  He sure is pretty!  Gettin tamer too.
