I've read articles and watched videos about this. They usually use milo or corn but I don't see why this won't work?

I had a bag of wild bird seed get wet and started molding and fermenting. Gonna give it a try.

Bird seed might float Have you put any in water to see if it will float or sink, Just a thought let me know you might be on to something.

I have put it in water and soured it for a couple of weeks and it worked fine. It was just as stinky as soured milo.

I have two 5 gal buckets of bird seed/chicken scratch chum right now that are about one year old. Kinda stinky but kittys love the stuff.


From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."

Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

Most of it sunk. Just the sunflower seeds floated. I think most of the seed is milo anyway. It was stinking when I poured it out of the bag!

It was bubbling earlier and I added a beer to it today. Smell is kicking up too.
