So... I recently got a copper hanging water bath. There is a fair amount of material online about copper being toxic to birds. Most of it looks fairly gereralized. Does anyone know of sources of specific info on copper toxicity and birds? There are so many products available I'm curious as to why it isn't a more common discussion...or ???
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
