'oregon grape'] by blackbirds. This strikes me as the way to go, rather than importing suet, grain, etc. </p><p>More <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sustainable</span></a> / <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/regenerative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>regenerative</span></a> bird <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> ideas welcome :)</p>
