Grazing sparrows for soil health

I saw an absolute bonanza of song birds working overtime on my Japanese millet residue this weekend. I used AI to run back some numbers on Japanese millet seed yield per acre, how many pounds of seed out there, and how many sparrows it could feed for 30 days between snow melt and green up.

I figure if they can use it all in 30 days, I’d earn 720 lbs/ac of liquid songbird manure. That should be a good starter for my winter triticale. Also found a good earthworm pop when digging holes for elderberry bushes.

The winter trit is coming, so the birds need to hurry before it’s too deep to reach.
