BBN S7:E08 - Eggshells for Birds, Fewer Cardinals, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Photo Contest Winners
Channel: BBN - Brome Bird News
Date: 2023-04-11

It’s the time of year when I start adding cooked eggshells to my seed mix as an extra bit of calcium for the birds. You can also scatter them on the ground for birds who don’t spend much time at feeders. Dr. Bird discusses a question from John Petrus about why he is seeing fewer and fewer Northern Cardinals at his feeders and then shares an interesting report about how many ‘other’ chicks need to be in a nest for Cowbird chicks to thrive. And a little more info on Brown-headed Cowbirds on Bird Alphabet.
