Yes, I saw that 'after' I posted the link...sorry. I wonder if maybe she is not getting the followups to that thread (did not check the box when she made her original post.) If you do a search, you will see she has other 2008 posts for the seeds...you might try replying to one of those....or emailing her...if you haven't already...putting honeyball bush seeds in the subject line of the email. As far as I know, none are posted as 'CLOSED' due to late replies..and maybe being out of the seeds. I hope you find some. Sue

I really appreciate your help. Thank you so much for your replies. I can't believe in all these years I've never noticed that female Mallards have those lovely blue and white wing feathers. I had only noticed they were female Mallards when I'd seen them with a male. And when they're swimming about, those colors don't show. You've helped me to see something special and beautiful about a bird that I never noticed before. It is a huge curiosity why there were no males in the group.

This is a new rare Turkey Vulture/duck hybrid. Haha, just kidding. It's a Muscovy Duck. They are found in TX and FL and and are known for liking handouts. I learned about them only because you've posted this photo. Here is a link that might be useful: Muscovy Ducks in Florida This post was edited by TMFF on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 11:16

Thanks, momj47! It is indeed beautiful. It was in the South American birds enclosure, although there were other native fowl there as well. Shyamala
