Thank you to those of you who support the American Bird Conservancy. I think they do good work, save a lot of habitat, and their publications are very informative (also amazing bird photography). ABC issued a report on these pesticides. They are very toxic to bees, but they are also toxic to birds. One treated seed can kill an adult songbird. If you look at this report (or abc website) you should also find a petition to EPA to prohibit their use. There is a bill in Congress to do that also.
