Good. Had a bunch of ticks in my yard about 2 years ago. Put down 3 bags a triazicide last spring and haven’t seen one since.

Thats it, notice the little red on top of head.

The fanning on back is also very noticeable.

Just spied one outside my front window about an hour ago

I heard one pecking his balls off when I walked to the mailbox earlier. That was about the only sound I heard at all.

did that result in a lot of screaming on the bird's part?

We have a winner, and we in the US can "thank" the idiots who years ago thought it would be important for the US to have all the birds that Shakespeare mentioned in his works. That's how we got stuck with these crappy birds...

They’re loud as hell and they eat all the seed I put out. Good part is they eat a lot of insects based on my research.
