    How do outdoor growers keep their plants clean and bug-free?

    They seem to work fairly well in the yard, have noticed the difference when I use them. Chinese Mantis are not native either. But with the influx of insects that are not native the native only policy really doesn't hold. I would release Button Quail to eat the squash bugs that was the plan but...

    Blaze & Daze

    Spent the last two days cleaning and clearing an area to bring in the outdoor birds. The new cage is setup with food and water and treats. The other two birds are in for a shock. Will be splitting my time between the two cages. Geisha is going to be upset as she thought she is queen of everything.
