The mites are smaller than seed ticks so it is just about impossible to see them without a magnifying glass. If they get in clothes they often don't wash off during the wash cycle. So I am not for birds except in photos!Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006293795541608715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786951846629057059.post-84669783005267866242014-10-02T18:55:30.901-07:002014-10-02T18:55:30.901-07:00I've never liked Starlings much but after watc...I've never liked Starlings much but after watching the youtube video I have a new respect for those pesky birds!

Good idea: hot tea with cayenne. Also ginger is a good medicine in the tea for making you strong against cold.<br /><br />Heart-greetings from Doridorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317158312699345659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786951846629057059.post-85680914176174920082014-10-02T07:48:24.258-07:002014-10-02T07:48:24.258-07:00Thanks, Sandra!

I feed until mid September because they still hang around and need food for the flight home. I've not seen that many starlings here but have seen a few hundred. They are amazing as they swoop and fly around, never falling out of the sky. Be wholly well, quickly; I've been sick as well and am sick of being sick! -grin-Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.com
