Birds

American Gold Finches (Carduelis tristis)

I love when these guys visit my garden. They come every year in droves for my sunflowers

House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)

Sparrows that have nested in my garden.

I've read some neat things about sparrows, they like to eat aphids, for example. How sweet they are!

Female

Both male and female.

About buying or barter:

I sell most of my things in person but in the event that someone in America far far away from Indiana wants something here are my rules:

For anything I offer for sale or barter I accept money order, gift card, or carefully hidden cash. When I get that payment i will promptly send your package. Whenever possible I will try to use the smallest flat rate box that the goods will fit in without getting squished. For seeds I will use the smallest padded envelope. I prefer to send plants early in the week so they will not be sitting around in cold or hot places over weekends and holidays.

For barter, I will send out my package and pay my own postage as will you in a reasonable amount of time, on the honor system. I will have a list of possible things I am looking for but feel free to offer something else that could be useful.

If you are unsatisfied with your plants on arrival, I will return your money or send you another to replace it. It's never happened before and I plan on never sending bad plants!

If you are interested in either buying or barter, shoot me an e-mail at mscmbackpacks@yahoo.com and make sure to tittle the e-mail with TRAILER TRASH so that I will know it is not spam. I'll need your zip code to figure the cost of shipping so that we can make a deal.
